if you go good online theres the tidius process of withdrawling also players can't cut your toes off if you take thousands off them (i knew a guy).But on the bright side more players in tournament means more money
ARGUMENT 2 =LIVE=
All the pos would agree nothing beats the buzz of a real live poker tournament also the abily to read a player can come in very handy

I enjoy live a lot more then online but make a lot more money online. I have to many tells in live games, and any good player pick on me for that. I have stared using my known tells to my advantage but still get burnt every now and then. So for me its 50/50
Online because you can multitable and be much more concentrated for a longer period of time. In live tournament I usually get bored after an hour or 2 and then I move to the bar (which is not good for my results hehe). Still if you win in a live game you can actually see the other guy go on tilt Just love it . overall I prefer the online games.
Online because I have more chances to play, for the numbers of tables and players. It's like a plug and play. But I have to admit live tournaments are more exciting

Gonna say live!
Its just the rush your getting from sitting there that does it so much better.. But when im saying Live it must be on a casino/ off poker tourney or something like that.. Not at home with friends!
The standard of play is infinitely better because people who c all with any garbage cannot hide behind a computer monitor. They have to face you, and theres nothing more embarassing than making a real donkey play and having to face that person.
The play is also alot slower and gives you more time to think.

I too have made more money online but I prefer live. You can only play one table and the action is slower but its much more social. It's what poker should be- fun, entertaining, exciting. If you bust out or lose all your cash you have to finish for the night. You can't just buy in to another sng immediately. So you don't get any idiots going all in first hand. The skill level is a lot higher where I play my live tourneys but that's alright. It's more challenging and improves my skill level. Its fun to watch the hands unfold and I get to know the other players.

I supposed I would prefer live poker. But i choose online poker because of the simple reason that i never played in a live tournament, so I cant chose! I hope in the near future I will be able to play a live tournament and then i could say what i prefer!

Id always choose live over internet.. i have had my best results playing live, i think the fact you can see the other players adds more to the feel of the game and lets not forget it was a game designed to be played with people not PCs
