Live vs. Online Poker Play, thoughts?

[mariyapoula]

Personally, I think that online poker is not real poker. It annoys the hell out of me. All these players that sit at their computer clicking a mouse and believing that they are poker players.

What are your thoughts? Do you think that online poker is as valid as live poker?

depends on your style of play, for me its same as i go purely on a maths based game rather than trying to go by personalities

Live is a lot better in my opinion. You can see your playmates face-to-face, and you will really get the feel on the vibe.

I prefer the live poker games. There's tension since you see the players you are against, and it makes for one hell of a good time (or not, depends on the outcome)
