I like both. The best feature about playing online is being able to play multiple tables at once while in boxers watching tv, eating pizza. However, when you go to a casino and sit down, get the buzz of the players, and cash out with actual monies in hand, well that's great too. The other thing I really like about casino's is getting into that tourney and playing with just your mind. No HUD, no stat trackers of any kind, picking up tendencies, developing strategies against complete strangers, and everything else YOU have to do without the add of any software/program.
