poguemahone68 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Online vs LivePros:1. Multi-tabling2. Wide variety of games and limits3. Full tables 24 hours a day4. Cost to play is cheaper in most cases. (1/2 NL at my nearest casino charges $6 every half hour. The max buy-in is $100, with 3 blinds of 1-1-2 and a $4 bring-in bet. Online the 1/2 NL tables are generally a $200 max buy-in with only 2 blinds of 1-2 and a bring-in bet of $2.)5. Tons of tournaments running all hours and for various buy-in amounts6. Short-handed and heads up cash games and tournies7. Take notes on players8. Use tracking software, which helps idenifying players and help leaks in your own game9. Ability to get things done around the house, which could be a con too10. No transportation time to get to the casino and waiting for the game you want is generally never as long as some waiting lists at casinos11. Ability to play more hands per hour even when playing only 1 tableCons:1. Unable to completely read your opponents2. Lack of the full social interaction live play provides3. Less exciting for some people without the live interaction4. Has been known to cause people to act like complete assholes and say things in the chat that they would never say to someone live Link to post Share on other sites

Rude Dog 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I play online seven days a week.I can smoke while I play.But, one bad habit I noticed I've picked up...at home I have no concern at all for physical tells. I can roll my eyes, beg out loud for hits, and openly talk shit to the opponents. I never type anything in the chat box except for fun, but, times like last night when I lost with three full houses and a queen high flush with the king on board, I let it out pretty good.This is something I have to give my self a good talking to about on the way to the clubs.
