I fully believe that the vast majority prefer to play on the computer because of the ease of playing on more screens and perhaps feel more comfortable or more reliable, but I prefer my cell phone since I don't like playing on many screens and I prefer to lie down while playing because I feel more comfortable.

Generally speaking PC. Its just easier to focus for me. Also better layout, however the GGPoker mobile App is pretty decent so I sometimes also play mobile

I've used to play only on PC as it's much more convenient- especially when you have multiple tables opened... But nowadays, the Apps(at least on Android) are so much better and you can even play multiple tables too(up to 4 tables on the apps/ poker sites I play) and with mobile devices getting really good specs at reasonable prices- I guess it's becoming a viable option to compete with the PCs/ laptops... Though I'm still playing on mobile only when I have like 1 table opened and/or I'm away from home and I have some games I have to play...

I've played poker on both PC and mobile; after my PC crashed, I started playing on my phone, and it feels good. I haven't had the chance to play in a casino on a computer yet, but I hope to get one soon.

I prefer PC for the larger screen and easier multitabling, but mobile is great for convenience and quick sessions.

I suggest there is certainly a difference between using different modes of play ... I prefer a computer for several reasons, but understand some can feel more comfortable on a phone, tablet etc. Play on what you are most comfortable playing and you will usually do your best.

I usually prefer playing online poker on my phone because it’s super convenient—I can play anytime, anywhere. Phones also have great apps with smooth interfaces designed for mobile. But if I want a bigger screen and easier multitasking, I switch to my PC.

Some apps I like on both platforms are Zynga Poker, Pokerist, and PokerGaga.

I alternate between the two, but it seems that most platforms are developed for mobile devices only. I think it's for convenience and the number of users. But I prefer to play on PC.

PC, always

It's horrible to play using a phone. I have no patience.

It depends on the situation! If you play at multiple tables, it is clear that the PC is ideal.But if you have a tournament with a large BuyIn with significant prizes, which can last 7-8 hours, I think the phone can cope, because you do not have to sit in the chair for so many hours, you can play even sitting in bed relaxing which has influence on how you get involved in the game.

I play poker an average of 5-6 days a week, mainly on my PC. But there are days, 2-3 days a month, when I can't play on my PC, so I play on my smartphone. For me, the smartphone is a last resort.

I play on my phone. My son has a PC. I imagine he would try to knock me out if I tried to or even asked to use it for poker. He's 2in bigger and 20kg heavier. I wouldn't stand a chance.
Even though I payed for it and pay for the electric. Ungrateful little +×÷=.

Lately I’ve been switching between both. PC feels better for stuff like live dealer games or when I’m playing multiple slots bigger screen, smoother performance, and I can actually read the game info without zooming in every 5 seconds.
But gotta admit, phone is super convenient. Just chilling, open the app, quick session on the go. Works great for single-slot spins or even some blackjack. Still, for longer sessions or if I want to track things properly, I always go back to PC.

What about you? Anyone here playing mostly on mobile now?
I love playing online poker (MTT) on my PC
It's easier to play 2/3 tables and I love the view. The problem with the phone is that,just when you are in the middle of a big hand decision and you get an unexpected call, the network starts to lack and you can easily time out and fold

If I play long tournament with high buy-in I prefer the phone because I only play at a table.In freeroll tournaments I play at several tables and I prefer PC.
