Pros and cons of live poker vs online

As i mentioned earlier i used to play almost exclusively live. I have quite a sample in both the live and online poker venues and i would say im more qualified to speak on them both than most people are. Live games are a good time if ur not a regular. I found that when i was a reg in live games, other (mostly losing) regs would try to attach themselves to me and tell me bad beat stories and woe is me bs. This made me start wearing headphones and refusing to talk with people in the games. Whichhhhhhhh about instantly led to me being miserable. It is quite amazing how we overlook the benefits of social interaction in a work setting. But that is #1 what i hate about live games, is the regs. #2 thing its sooooooooooo slow. After playing 12 tables at 70hands/hr, u try going to 1 table of 30 hands / hr. This leads to me playing looser which doesnt translate well for me live. These two major factors are just horrible, but the games are softer.........meh f this ill finish this tomorrow, i get the feeling this blog post is the suck so far though
