play online like the rest of us edit: i have almost everything in this thread thats been mentioned, aside from an olive garden, but since im italian i dont need no fucking olive garden i dont know what i want that we dont have
well live poker is a joke and is soft as hell (especially at the casino) so i could see why but i get bored playing only like 25-30 hands an hour when online im playing 4-8 tables so its closer to 300 hands an hour, i have to be in the mood to play live poker also if you guys want to find games near you there are a bunch of websites that you can use http://www.homepokergames.com/ is a good one
yes there is one called the maratime poker club. I play online and live. I like live, because I like reading who I am playing. when playing online its just a shit show. what site are you on? what limits?
as well we both like going to vegas, she has played in the world series 2 times...online isnt helping your live game
lol there are ways of reading people online, if you play seriously get poker tracker keeps track of your hand history and while you're playing you get a HUD (heads up display) and gives you stats on everyone you're playing based ont he hand history's with them so you see how aggressive they are, how many hands they voluntarily put money in the pot (how much they limp) their preflop raise, their 3-bet% etc etc i play 25nl 50nl online on full tilt (because i get rakeback) at the casino i play200nl
live is easier compared to online, in a month i can play more hands than i would in a year live, so i get more experience there imo plus i do play live, and live is a "shit show" as you would describe it
its all who you play with. my 5 closest friends are all huge poker players. play serious. I dont agree with it being easier IMO
Live, it ranges really $20-up to I am in a $200 tourney at the casino this weekend. Online I have been playing a lot of $20-$50 double or nothings on stars
word, i tend to stick to cash games i play the occassional SNG every month i play a couple of freerolls i qualify for, they're usually 20k gtd freerolls
i guess they dont take too kindly to offtopic banter here lol horse everytime i play a stud game i want to gouge my eyes out
haha they are just hating poker! I only play low limits, but all you have to do it master razz, no one else does, so thats where I try to make all my money.
lol i've play razz cash games every now and then, so soft i still love the people who have no clue"OMG THIS SITES RIGGED I HAD A FULLHOUSE HOW DID I LOSE?!!?!?!!?"
I enjoy the social aspect of a live game. I wouldn't consider it harder or easier to play online than live. Poker is poker. There are a lot of advantages to playing online I get that. I just prefer playing live. This year I'm thinking of playing a live omaha tournament at the wsop. I really enjoy hi/lo but I need a lot of work on my game.
