Default Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?

Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?

LIVE BADs
You have a higher rake
rounds go by slower because of a live dealer.
Travel time, wait time.
LIVE GOOD
15-30 min rounds
Read opponent's tells
smaller field to get through
Get to hold some REAL chips [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

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?
