Default Profit vs. fun
My profit rate is higher online. This should always be the case, as you do not have to tip dealers/cocktail waitresses. And the quality of play at the 3/6 game at my local card room is far, far better than the 2/4 game on Party.

But for all of the advantages of online play – the convenience, the fact that my living room is non-smoking, etc. – I still don’t count it as REAL poker. Unless I’m holding cards and have to meet my opponents eye, it is at a best a facsimile of the real game, kind of like arena football.
