Online vs in person

[kdarrell]

How many players here enjoy playing online vs sitting down around the table and playing in person?

I was just talking about this in another thread. I like playing on the internet better because in my case it really does take the pressure off. I have been playing for 3 years now and I still don't have the "poker face". whenever I panic you can see it in my face. When I am at home no one can tell so it takes a big load off my shoulders.

I agree with metalmaiden55.

I have played both online and at the casino, but I do prefer online. You feel that you have a little more time, with not as much going on around you. I appreciate that you are not able to read peoples faces, but it is possible to pick-up on the habits of opponents, when playing online.

The amount of people I have seen who go in heavy, with nothing in their hands, just after they have lost a big hand. You would be surprised.

well, it's definitely harder to anticipate the next move of the other players if you are playing online...

[enigma]

it would probably be more convinient for me to hide my poker face if I play online... because if people see my actions then I might lose after about 10 hands...

[chocolatee]

well, many people prefer playing online for that reason i guess...

I prefer in person 95% over online. Seems to be more BAD BEATS online then in person. Also I prefer to see my opponents. They have those e-poker at the bike, hustler, and hollywood park casinos, but not too many people on those tables. It's hard to even get a game on them. I think they're a waste of time.

online no match for live poker....poker is all about live play - online poker and live poker are 2 different monsters.

I like online poker because of the multi table factor. It allows me to be way more patient. When playing a live cash game and donks are playing every hand you can get into that style.

In person...Players have more tells than online.
