Online poker is like playing live?

Online is definitely much worse than live. I would rather play live games if given the option. The only good thing about online is the fact that you can get a game anytime you want.

I would also prefer playing live any day. I do have to add that online play also lets you see more hands within a much shorter span of time

Online poker stinks. People play like donks and get rewarded. Just got knocked out of a Bovada tourney dudes shoves preflop all-in and I call with AK suited. He shows A3 and flops a pair of 3s. Gimme a break. He wasn't shortstacked either. Ridiculous. Time and time again.

That being said, if you can play live, play live. Much easier to have success. Unfortunately for me, no casino closer than 2-3 hours away.

Busting to fish in microstakes online stinks. People play like donks and get rewarded. Just got knocked out of a Bovada tourney dudes shoves preflop all-in and I call with AK suited. He shows A3 and flops a pair of 3s. Gimme a break. He wasn't shortstacked either. Ridiculous. Time and time again.

I prefer to play live for the social aspect of the game, but online is great because i dont have to leave my house

I think the best advantage of playing online is that you can play many tables at once, increasing the game speed and gains, which you can do in classroom tables.

lol i have to agree with this poster, i take live anyday over online, but then again so much easier to get a online game going

Completely disagree. Playing in person is very different from playing online. It's must more psychological. And people are less likely to tilt or play like donks in public...

This is true but you also have to remember that some people get pretty drunk sometimes live. They end up playing crazy sometimes when they are drunk. I think it is easier to get distracted behind a computer.
