no joke. i used to play live poker every day a year ish, degeneate 3-6 style. now after some hardcore onlineing and going back and seeing all these douche bag faces and their sunglasses and obvious hollywooding omfg i hate live poker. people need to just dump 80 bux in the rake and leave and save time.

Psychology forum, not B&M stuff to be honest.

i get to play live poker so little each year i absolutely love every bit of it.

from holding the cards, feeling the chips, tabletalk and atmosphere.

to me it's a treat to play live.

I totally agree - to me its the same difference as between watching porn and actually doing it. I enjoy it, but I'd rather be involved [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Live poker is rigged.

same here. I'd love to play live poker a couple of times a week. Unfortunately the closest casino around here is like 4 hours away, so, I play live like once in two months.

Live poker has always been, and will always be, vastly superior to online poker. PERIOD.

I love the smell of a B&M in the early mornings.... It smells like.... DEAD $. Don't you want some? REAL poker is LIVE. Everything else is a video game, unless your name is TRON.

That is the best movie idea I've ever heard. Tron II: Journey into Online Poker, Starring:

Phil Ivey: Phil Ivey/Tron

Daniel Negreanu: Danie Negreanu/Clu

Phil Hellmuth, Jr.: Phil Hellmuth, Jr./Sark/Voice of Master Control Program

Jennifer Harman: Jennifer/Yori

Doyle Brunson: Texas Dolly/Dumont

Phil Gordon: Ram/Professional Poker Player

Just initial thoughts... I may have to pitch this.

Live poker is vastly superior to internet poker. Internet poker is not poker, it's internet poker. I'd have to consider as suspect at best anyone who preferred sitting in front of their computer playing internet poker to actually playing poker in a casino with other live human beings. From the tenor of the initial post, I'm guessing that OP likes to 10 table and waits for AA, KK, QQ or set before he plays a hand.
