Do you think it's more profitable to play online or in a live game please post the pros and cons and which one you think is better. Online may have more pros while live may be full of donks. I live in vegas but online play is in the comfort of my own home, should i abandon online play for good or still play ?

Which casino in Las Vegas lets you play four tables at a time while dealing each table twice as fast, and doesn't allow dealer tokes?

Not to mention lower rake, bonus whoring, etc.

Online is better, and it's not even close.

PROS:
- you can play multiple tables
- faster hands
- any level you wanna play any time of day
- bonuses, rakeback, etc.
- tons of tournaments if that's your cup of tea
- 70,000 players on a single site at a time = tons of fish

CONS:
- fewer tells

all that may be true, but I just have more fun playing live.

Playing live is more fun, but there's no question that online is more profitable by far.
Until casinos start giving me free money for playing there, let me run back and forth between 4 tables, and give me part of my rake back at the end of the month, I'm playing online.

Playing live is way more fun.

Playing online is way more profitable.

I've only played 1/2 and lower online and 2/4 live(limit hold'em). Live is wayy more fun, and the players are wayy worse, but I think bonuses, the advantage of playing multiple tables, and lower rake/tips makes online generally more profitable.

Exception: Weekday mornings and afternoons it's tough to find really good low stakes games online. The cardrooms are full of them.

It's not even close, unless you're a winning 100/200 B&M player with a large bankroll.

I live in Las Vegas and I haven't played B&M in months.
