Fair point - but even if I lived next door to a card room, I would still make most of my poker time online.

Don't get me wrong I do enjoy live games, but on line suits my playing style.. Chain drinking and being able to scream obscenities at the screen when my obviously superior move is wiped out by some &^%%er calling me with rags, instead of getting slowly to my feet to a round of applause and saying "Good Game & good luck all".

I much prefer "Live" but I'd have to plump for"Online" because of the shambolic way UK Tournament Poker is run & "organised". I attended a Tourney a few nights back which was a total & utter farce, organisaton wise, & x hours of my life ebbed away whilst I sat & watched a display of organisational incompetenence it'd be hard to imagine. But the Tourney did eventually get started. An hour late. Self-Deal. At the Headquarters of British Poker. (Await Diary Entry).

Online are so much more professional - the Rules are pretty standard, the comps always start on time, no favouritism is showed, &, glory be, players in extreme circumstances even get Banned for misdemeanours.

If I lived in, say, Vegas, or Vienna, I'd say "Live" every time.

Online.  Nor sure I could make a profit (or anywhere as much) playing at the levels I do in a live setting.

I would say Live but I think I am extremely lucky with my local casino (Moortown Leeds!) being one of the best run card rooms around with lots of Blondes going.

If it was a poorly run, badly structured and smoking I would go for online!

As a recreational player I would have to say live - I just love live poker.  I enjoy playing online for something to do, but it doesn't give me the same buzz.

And there we have it in a nutshell. Live poker is great, but you try making a living at it, day in, day out, year in, year out.

No travel, food, drink or sundry expenses, and fees are so low online compaired to live. plus you can play as many games at once as you're comfortable with, at the level you prefer, any time of the day or night.

but to my mind nothing beats interacting with people when playing. Perhaps this is because I live alone and its different if you can be chatting away to family when playing on a lappie at home

online definitely - play any type of game day or night. Live is good occasionally but too slow and not enough choice of decent games

I think it's two different questions, most profiable/most enjoyable.
