Online poker vs. B&M
 

I stopped playing poker online a few months back because of some incredibly bad beats. Now, I've just started playing at B&M and have had some good sessions (made about 500 last time around). I find it much easier to do well due to tells, intimidation, etc. Should I stick with playing just at B&M or start playing online again? What are your experiences with both?

Online poker is rigged.

Nevermind the lower rake, no need to tip, more hands per hour, bonuses, possibility to multi-table, etc.

Seriously, it's personal preference, man. Personally, I can get in five times the amount of hands per hour online than in a B&M. And I can fart anytime I want without offending nine strangers.

B&M is way better!

Re: Online poker vs. B&M
 

you get in more hands online, so...

1. Online is better if you have a constant win rate
2. B&M is better if you tilt easily

you can see people in B&M, so...

1. It's better if you tend to bluff too much online
2. It's worse if you have lots of anxiety

It's really a personal preference. If you're a tight player who only bets when you have it... I'd say B&M is the way to go. If not, Online.

I'm TAG when I play B&M. So are you saying I should change it up a lil in order to do well online?

play online to make money. Play B+M for the experience and to have fun.

Play online the majority of hte time you play, but if you're in the mood to play some live games, head to the casino every once in awhile. Why play in the casino all the time when the rake is higher and you can't play nearly as many hands?

Bingo. Poker is poker. In my experience, people who think they can win in a B&M, but can't online are generally not very good poker players, but hit a short-term heater in a casino.
