Casino or online?

What's the most lucrative way to make money out of poker? Casino or online?
When you're in a casino it must feel wonderful to be there (i think, I've never been to 1), but online it's perhaps easier to bluff?
If it's for fun i prefer playing with some buddy's, but if it's for the money what would u do ?

For money I would say online because you are not playing against the house but against other players so for me that gives you more odds

Whether playing poker in person at a casino or playing online, the "house" always takes a rake. One's odds does not change by playing poker online. Playing at home is more convenient by allowing one to play in their underwear if they so choose. You have to get up to make your own drinks, though. Also, smoking is generally not allowed at casino card tables (that I am aware of). Smokers can play poker online and smoke all they want at home.

myself, i make out better if i am playing at home with a bunch of buddies. since i have started playing poker i have done pretty well in live play, like in tounaments held at the local fire houses or at a friends house but online i am up and down all the time. but have been doing ok as of late online.

The rake tends to be higher at casinos than online. I enjoy both online and playing at my local casino, but for different reasons. Playing at the casino is far more of a social experience.

My wife smokes when we go to the casino, but can't actually smoke at the tables.

definately poker in person... onlinepoker will never have the same status (look into my eyes

). But it depends on the player too cause its not that easy to play lot of hands in the casinos when you are lazy
