I only play online, no option of playing live. Even if there was I would probably still prefer online.

Yes online for me. I'm impatient as it is, live is just too slow...

Of course, online. I’m sitting in my pajamas, I don’t even have to comb my hair, and I periodically go to the kitchen.

Having back issues and now some other health problems playing online is far more comfortable and preferable to me. I did visit the live casino recently and had success though, sometimes my back starts to hurt in those uncomfortable chairs and I have to take breaks or walk it off but this time was not so bad and we held in some hands which helps lol.

here it already depends on endurance, but the best players play online, offline it is like the next stage when you win online

I much prefer live. I like interacting with people and watching behaviors. Online is boring at times and if playing for real money, I fear cheating.

Unfortunately, I've never played live, but if I had, I would probably give the biggest tells in the world.
Therefore, I would still prefer to play online.

offline has its own atmosphere)) I haven't been able to go to a poker club for more than a month, and I feel like I miss it...

I can play more often online, but my enjoyment level is greater live. Poker is a social experience. You get to interact with the other players and the dealer...cocktail servers as well. Usually, when I am playing live poker, I am on vacation, so I am more relaxed and focused on having fun playing...online, I am by myself in my home, usually not watching TV, cooking or doing laundry at the same time. It can get tedious. When I lose online, especially if the player who beat me, won because they made a real stupid move (or misclicked), I tend to be annoyed longer. Live, I can laugh, say nice hand to my opponent (sometimes sarcastically) and get over it quickly because I am just more relaxed.

I prefer live poker, but I’m too lazy to go to the club to play, so I just play online at home.

I prefer live, but finding cheap stakes games is pretty tough, My bankroll isn't enough to be hitting the casinos at this point.

I think live is better than online because all hands and flops are natural not controlled artificially

Honestly, I believe that online poker is interesting for learning and practicing some technique, but the experience with the game itself will be interesting in the live game, which is why when I play online poker I feel like I'm playing against the site and not against people, sometimes I feel like I'm in a video game and the opponent is sometimes real and sometimes just artificial intelligence, that is, the same thing that happens in PlayStation games, either you play with a friend or you play against the game's artificial intelligence, in this case on PlayStation you can program the system at the level that you can overcome or have some chance, because in the most difficult mode you will lose anyway.
This situation has kept me away from the online poker tables, and there is one detail: certain player nicknames seem more like programming functions, this error is very visible, so try to be very critical when faced with some situations that arise and that in some cases it is luck or something rare to happen, but when these events are constant, there is something behind the farce.

I prefer the online poker game because it is more accessible to me, you have a certain control of the plays and you also have a time limit to choose your decision, and you can get both beginner, casual and professional players at the table which gives a certain variety in the game and in which you can have an advantage or disadvantage when playing, while in person in my country Venezuela there are no tournaments and the only thing you can play is with your friends or acquaintances but there will always be a certain type of resentment or frustration since we are talking about losing money and seeing how someone else is winning your money in your face, but anyway even if there were tournaments in my country I would always like online poker.
