i preffer live game no doubt about that, but online i can find a game at any time at any stake i want to, and you can win a seat at wsop for really small amount of money. live game give u so much more information, u can sometime play without even looking your cards. but, ull probably end up in room that is filled with cigar smoke, games begins at late evening till early morning hours, which sometimes make u feel kinda dirty and outlaw
on the other hand, on the internet there are all sort of players, and if u are going to do things right u will have to consider your br and u'll probably encounter most ilogic plays and other strange moves which very often ends up bad for u. gamblers in my hood will often say "u can make full house with any two cards" so thats why i still hesitate to play higher stakes live here, its very very risky if u r not rich or have considerable br u want to spend.
recently they put in electronic hold'em table in one of the card rooms...every player has a display in front of him to see the cards and there is a display in the middle for showing the board. u have chips, and dealer...i didn't quite see him doing much
anyway thats the most stupid variation of poker i've ever seen...nor live nor online.
bottom line is...when i do have game money i will play live, and make some easy money from time to time and when i don't i'll stick to my online br and small stake tournaments.
