ONLINE BAD
Can't read players.
hundreds of players to weed through.
Too easy to just "click" an action
Not as much time on the clock for thinking.
Rounds are fast 9-15 mins.
Power/DSL/Modem/PC can go out at any second.
ONLINE GOOD
PC deals fast.
No travel expense
No travel time
No time wasted to start tournament
Get to be a Champion in your underwear
Quiet.
small start blinds in relation to stack.
As for opponents I think live has weaker opponents. More weak tight, loose players calling with dominated hands. They play scared because you have to put in $50-$200 for a good live tournament where online $33 is nothing. The poor players are easy to read like a big fat highway sign.
I prefer live personally and have done better live.
Thoughts and reasons why one is better than the other?
