Online or Live?

[Longy]

Online but thats because i basically support myself through playing online.

[AndrewT]

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

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

I think they're two different games which you shouldn't ask people to choose between, as they're not directly comparable.

Well we have been asked, and you HAVE to choose. Which one do you lose?

[boldie]

Prefer to play live, do better in live games so that would be my choice if I had to choose..but travelexpenses would mean the practical choice has to be online. Voted live though because I'm a man and "can't make up my mind about anything"..

Agree Andrew, however it would be live for me everytime, I am absolute pisch online. mind you i only play for the recreation and friendship etc.

I rarely see abuse at a live event but see it regularly online..............not for me I'm afraid.

hi all

just to put a spanner in the works,  why can't we have both and start putting laptops in casinos.

live is great so is online but live is not always conveient. sometimes you can't get a seat because the space is limited, too expensive or far away.

this way you can have your cake and eat it.

Take your laptop to the pub?

  or bring the pub to the laptop-- hmmm fridge calling 

[AlexMartin]

Live for fun, online for money.

If i had to choose id go for live, purely because i think life is for living, not sitting infront of your screen till 4am every night.

Hi Terri, (Terry?, Tery?),

Most UK Casino's ban the use of lappies in their premises, for what they call "security reasons". Even Updaters are no longer allowed to use their Lappies in the Cardroom, we have to be "off floor" in a back-office.

In Mainland Europe, Lappies are generally allowed in Venues. I've been to many-an-EPT in which there were dozens of Scandies with Lappies, all busy playing Online.

It ain't ever gonna happen in the UK methinks, though maybe dtd will take a different view, if, that is, they are granted authority to open & operate.

An oddity is that most Unlicensed Venues have lots of Computer Terminals, on which Members are encouraged to play Online Poker, & the Venue earn money via the rake, as they negotiate a favourable deal with an Online Cardroom in return for exclusivity in the Venue. Licensed Venues never allow this.
