I think you said it already in your post. Online is a great as you don't ever have to leave your house, or even or your room, or even get dressed to play! Talk about convenience! On the flipside nothing can replace the fun of going to the casino! I think both have thier place. I prefer online ot make money as you can get so many more hands in an you jsut have so many more options of what to play but that will never replace the experience that most casinos are.

I really don't think online poker rooms compete that much for thier piece of the poker pie, I think they work together. On one hand you have online, convenient with endless selection, and on the other you have the entire casino experience, less hands but potentially more fun. I enjoy both!
