pkr.com – Is Internet Poker Better Than Live?:
www.pkr.com - This argument is one that depends largely on the individual, but there seem to be ever increasing numbers of players saying they prefer playing online to live. Personally I feel the opposite, enjoying live games much more, but I can also see what there is to like about online poker.
The ease with which you can sit down and play, and the choice of stake and game are extremely convenient. But isn’t that just the point? That most of all what players prefer about online poker isn’t anything to do with preferring the play involved at all, but simply the fact that they do not have to leave their house to play. I think this is probably the case with many players who like to play online, and indeed there are even some who have never played in a live game before. There will always be certain players though, that prefer online play itself to live play. Although how they could feel that way is beyond me, they still seem to be in the majority these days in terms of where they play their poker.
Live play has always had so much more excitement personally, the ability to chat and joke with your opponents between games and enjoy a social atmosphere is one of the things that sets poker aside I feel, and it just isn’t the same with online play. Also I feel that if you are new to poker, you are much more likely to be given advice on how to play better after a live game than after an online one, certainly so in the case of where I play anyway. So in my opinion, live play will always be better, but there are a great number who would disagree with me, and have a strong preference for online play.
