Reading an opponent is probably the hardest task to do in poker. Reading an opponent when gambling online is different because the only "tells" you can pick up on are patterns and fold-check-raising. It's almost an impossible task to know what your opponent's hand is when you can't see him/her live. It's safe to say that many "tells" can be picked up on a live game. You can see the physiological patterns and the acting most players represent.

Some players would say that a live game is all about the acting. You can literally play with all the different possibilities you have at your disposal when sitting in front of a player. casino online has no acting opportunities.
