Personally, I play online poker because in my city there aren't many places where live poker is played.

Online has ease of access and more affordable for everyone. More hands per hour by ALOT(more then double easy). Also likely more enjoyable then live depending on the type of trash ones local casino attracts and allows. But online is about 10x harder to be a winning player then live poker. Avg people are simply to emotional and can't hide live tells worth a dam that's why live is so much easier. Sadly everything else makes live poker at a casino a mostly terrible experience. If prefers live I'd go out and look for and find a decent live home game or start one of your own that keeps the trash out....it's the only way and best way to enjoy live poker.

Yeah I wouldn't say I typically hate poker players or people in general.....it's just a certain type of people and poker player. I love the social aspect of poker, love meeting and shooting the shit with people. With that said it seems nowadays most people can't hold and have a simple conversation if you disagree with them on anything. Most people nowadays simply seem to be extremists on one side or the other. The actual middle of the road avg human seems to exist less and less and less nowadays.
Between that and well my province only has a total population of just over 1m people and is a city that has an international port. Port cities attract the worst kinda human beings, criminal organizations/organized crime groups always have always will(we were better off when the Hell's Angel's ran things). Which says a lot. And well we only have 1 casino with attracts all of them worst kinda of people. Which in turn keeps out the good, decent and avg poker player. That leaves only organized crime, grossly over drunk people on Friday and Saturday at 2am and people exactly like William Kassouf.
Which all completely ruins poker for the social aspect and enjoyment around here for the majority of the decent and good people/players. You want goo decent people and a place to play poker around here you gotta know someone who can get you into a good home game.
Cheers!!!
