The 2 alternatives are nice to play, each one has its own charm, if I had to choose I would play live poker, but it's more expensive than online poker.

If you get a chance to play live, you're in luck. Unfortunately, this is not possible where I live, so the online game remains.
Despite the convenience, online poker cannot reproduce the same atmosphere as it does live poker.

I would really like very much to play live poker against important players, but i am from România and, sadly, the offers to play poker are very limited!!! The buy-in s are very high, for example 600 euro and with rebuys, so it îs not for me 😅... My salary us around 500 euro per month so, ouț of my league 😂😂

When you play live, you will see 25-30 hands per hour and there is no multitabling. You can sit for hours and not get dealt a playable hand. You will see other players play really bad hands, mostly because they are bored and card dead and want a change of pace.
I don't go to our closest casino because it's a fair drive to get there. And, Vegas in the summer is not my idea of fun at all.

I also have terrible luck playing bad cards. I think I have a pretty good idea of how to do it correctly, but it usually doesn't work out for me. And I don't have the bankroll to burn through perfecting my technique.

Plus, it's so convenient playing online.

I like both, but I find live way more exciting and interesting.

What are your thoughts?
I only play online because it's convenient for me and I think poker at home is a great way to spend my free time. I would also like to play in live tournaments, but unfortunately, there are no such events in my city yet.

Home games are the best by far !!! Hard to come by but worth it especially if playing with a good group

I only play online. I don't have the opportunity to play live. I play online, at home, from my home gaming PC. And frankly speaking, playing at home is more comfortable for me than in casinos or poker clubs.

I play online, in the evenings and almost always at home. I feel most comfortable playing at home, there's always a cold beer and something tasty to eat, and I like to play on the couch :)

Online is more convenient. It takes a lot of commitment to play live. Live can be quite boring to play in. Online you can play multiple tables, that means more stimulating game play. And one can control eating or do other tasks like watch tv etc.

I only play online. Since I play recreationally, I don't see myself at live poker tables. Unless I'm at home with friends.

I play both. In the past, I used to play both live and online poker, but now I rarely play live, because online poker allows me to play whenever I find the time or opportunity.
The most important thing for me is to extinguish the passion for playing poker.
Good luck everyone.

I prefer live poker, because it is real, however, the problem is that in my country casino games are prohibited, and live poker can take place in the tournament structure, but they take place far from my city, and in that, the Game costs are quite high. Online poker, the most popular, is low cost, but manipulative.

As long as there was Live Poker in Hungary, it was entertainment and relaxation for me.
Online poker was the work on several tables.
So I prefer Live Poker.

I've never played poker live, so I can't compare.

I enjoy playing live poker more than online because of the vive live, but playing online is much less effort.

I prefer Online...you can play several tables simultaneously...I've played Live a few times and found it a bit monotonous...but I recognize that the greatest glories are in the big Live tournaments (wsop for example)
