Live Poker vs. Online Poker: Which Do You Prefer?

[Gilead]

Live poker offers physical reads, while online poker allows for more volume and speed. Which format do you find more profitable?

 

[TeUnit]

Live is generally softer, but you get much fewer hands and its very difficult to multi-table.

 

[SPANKYSN]

I'm not looking to make money...I play for the entertainment and competition...I always want to win, but winning just means more play...I have never withdrawn from a poker account, so I prefer the social aspect of live play.

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]

I play for fun. And online poker is better for me. I don't need to go anywhere, I can sit at home and play.

 

[Toruk Makto]

Online 😉

 

[CaioRJ]

I play online, live games is much tedious.

 

[andrez1987]

Online poker is a parody and only makes money for the casinos.

 

[bermejoga]

if I had to pick 100 times between online or live I would pick live 101 times...
The feeling when you're facing your opponents is just something to me.
Studying their reactions and decisions, etc...
The game feels real, if you know what I mean

 

[porras7796]

I always play online

 

[dannystanks]

Live poker for me. I live in a state where you can’t play poker online for money.

 

[Sparta77]

I prefer the edge garden. You can collect a lot of information and the hands are random.

For me, a more convenient option is to play online. I play in the evenings, after work, and at that time I have no desire to go to a poker club. It's better to play a few tournaments at home lying on the couch

 

[fergysteve]

I prefer live, but play more often online. I have to travel a little to get to a live game.

 

[gloria_marga]

I'll always choose the live game, being realistic and being able to see your rivals is more special than just seeing your screen.

 

[rufininha14]

I prefer online poker because of the possibility of opening more screens

 

[oriole]

Live poker lets me spot bluffs, but online poker lets me cry in peace when I misclick all-in.

 

[ztibor72]

Live poker is fun for me, it's much slower, you can read your opponents, it's more fun.
Online poker has always been about making money, you can play on more tables, it's faster, less monotonous, and statistics are available in most rooms.
Fortunately, I'm very profitable in both.
But if it's just about money, then online.

I've always liked playing online poker more, you don't have to go anywhere, just play at home.

While live games are much softer, that doesn't mean you'll win more money playing live than online. While your win percentage in terms of BB/100 will likely increase significantly, you'll also be playing far fewer hands.Readings can play an important role in live poker games.

 

[emsea9o5]

I prefer live

 

[dompoker]

I prefer playing live poker is more fun and safer than playing online poker, where you can see incredible things.

 

[andron205]

online is more profitable

Live poker and online poker each have their advantages, and the better option depends on personal preference and goals. Live poker offers a more social experience, physical tells, and generally softer games due to less experienced opponents, but it’s slower, requires travel, and has higher rake in some cases. Online poker allows for multi-tabling, faster hands, tracking software, and more game variety, but it’s more competitive, lacks physical tells, and can feel isolating. If you prefer a strategic, volume-based approach, online is better, but if you enjoy reading opponents and the atmosphere, live poker might suit you more.

 

[successlaw]

I try only to play online poker cause I find live poker very boring

 

[scobido]

I think that no matter which one you play, whether live or online, you have to be well focused on the game and certainly if you stay well and are patient, winning is guaranteed in both.
