Online is easier to access by the masses. However the true form of the game has always been live poker. Brings in extra variables with regards to body language and tells etc.

Each form compliments the other, but you can't beat the feeling of sitting down in a casino or card room.

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree, was merely stating that there are online accomplishments worth being proud of out there...
