live or online?

[Liz]

What do you prefer? I am starting to really like playing only online.. Mainly cause I can do it anytime I want. Plus you don't have to jack with the small things like cards and chips. Might sound like a silly reason.

I like to play a little bit of both. Starting out I prefered to play online. I didn't feel as bed and didn't lose as much money when I goofed up a hand. Now that I am learning a little more and have gotten some friends into the game we play at someones house almost weekly now.

I prefer to play online. I like being able to play any time of the day and just have a good time with it. My friends aren't that into it so I don't really have anyone else to play with outside of the net.

Nothing beats playing live. There's just something about making your opponents sweat (and being able to see it) that can never be matched with online games.

[Liz]

yeah that part can't be matched. But that can be a double edged sword when it coming you you sweating it too. Which I have been there too.

I like to play live. Playing live poker, it's real and I think it is more fun. You have a chance to chit chat with other players and be more personal. Playing online is more like your addicted and don't want to leave the house. The players don't seem realistic and I think you have more chance to loose. Well, which ever ways you like to play I still say good luck to you .

Well do to the new laws in the United States it looks like soon my only option will be land based casinos. It looks like by the end of the month that all online gaming sites will be illegal for US citizens to play on. I am really disappointed by this as I have been playing poker online for the last 5 years and I really enjoyed it.

I agreed about the new laws. I think that us poker players should march in from of Washington demand to change the law. The gov is only doing this because they aren't getting piece of the money.

I like more live playing, because if your'e playing with your friends it's more interesting. However, playing online is better if you want to play poker any time and you don't need to go anywhear.

[gojkovich]

This new law does not criminalize online poker playing. And furthermore since Bush signed the bill into law there is 270 days time left for them to come up with the regulations to enforce the law.

[kelkat]

So basically there is a stay of execution for those of us who couldn't go a day without our online games?

And who knows, this might all just fall to the wayside after the election.

[hoosierhunter]

I'm starting to think the same thing, but mainly because I can play without worrying who's going to stand us up and there isn't the whole "personal" aspect.

[playingthegame]

I prefer live gaming. I think that online gaming takes the personal element out of the game and thus takes a lot away from the game overall. When playing online it is so much harder to pick up on bluffs and tells which is something that I love being able to pick up on with my oponents.

[aquariancore]

I like the game played live. I want to get a better handle on my opponents.

[jeffjakejess]

i agree 100%. i like the fact that i can come and go as i please, play only when i feel like it, and quit when i want to -with no hard feelings like some of the house games. i'm new w/ rackback so if you have any advice please feel free to chat.

sincerely, jeff

[jeffjakejess]

sincerely, jeffjakejess

I prefer playing live games. There seems to be less bad beats at the live games in the casino as opposed to online. The only good thing I like about online is that I don't have to drive anywhere.
