The rake in live games is much higher than online as well.

Default Live games = more money

IMO, live games are much better than online. Seeing a person putting his/her chips out will definitely influence my play. I am not a huge believer in tells, but there are some tells that definitely give a hand away. At a live game, beginning players will often have shaky hands when dealt good cards. This can possibly be explained by an adrenaline rush? Anyway, when I see shaky hands and my cards are not top tier (AA, AK, KK, etc.) I will fold. This is obviously not the case online. Just my 2 cents.

Depends how good you are and who you are playing.

No offense to Brian here, but to use him as an example (since he was the one who brought this up), if he and I were to play live, it would be more of an advantage to me than it would be to him. It would actually be a disadvantage to him.

I can't guarantee that - I could be wrong - but I believe I'm a more experienced player and would probably be able to pick up more tells on him then he could on me.

For new players, I think online is a fantastic way to learn this game...

I like live games because it gives me a chance to wear my Greg Raymer sunglasses, and use my Phil Helmuth Walkman, not to mention wearing my Chris Ferguson Cowboy hat.
