Default Live vs. Online

My recent move to college has hindered my social life, being 6 hours away from most of my friends, and have also lost most of my poker regulars. This has also brought about much more play for me online. I guess I'm just too lazy to go find people around me to play poker with, and would rather just sit in my room and play online. Does anyone have any feedback or comments on their experiences between online and live poker?

Someone else said it best, I can't remember who or what thread, but they said something like...

"Why would anyone want to go play live when you can just play online. Online there are no waiting lists, if your table is bad you can find a new one easily, it's more convenient, etc..."

Online is convenient for me, but probably too convenient since I find myself playing on tilt a lot more than I should which is easier to avoid live. I like to play live (well homegames) when I return home from college. They both have their pros and cons but online just seems better for me, especially since I live 9 hours away from the closest casino.

Ive been out ll night and not lying im fucked up as hell - sop ignote all my pelling mistakes... but honestly heres the deal

live is 100000x btter than online...nowq im not saying the random number generators are fuycked up, (although honestly i think they are sometimes, ive never seen some of the shit 4 of a king lose to royal flush, runner runner repeatedly etrc) but there are just so many more advantages

1: READS/TELLS....I dunno about you, but i can pick up so much shit by the way a person acts... now i dont mean if he bets and scratches his forehead he's bluffing, i jus mean in situations where i bet and they thinkand just call, i can tell if they are chasing/trapping/semi scared etc... basically i know to eithe rfire on the turn hard to take it down, or check and take my losses.

2: Play is more scared... i dunno about you, but if u play my style of poker, u want people to be more scared, bc when i see weakness i fire!!!

If I call you on a flush draw and i check the turn and u check behind me, im fuckin firing the river to steal if i hit or miss... if you are likely to call me with Ace high IT FUCKS UP MY GAME...it forces me to only play my hands and try to extract the most out of them.

3. Play feels more real.. when u r throwing chips into a pot it feels different than pressing a call button... thus the play is different./...not saying oine is superior to the other, just sayingit is different, and adapting properly to your table is one of the most important things u can do.

I may elaborate more on this tomorrowe...
