I personally much prefer playing live, for a couple of reasons. There is a lot more to information to go on, and so many players give away so much with their talk and actions it can make decisions a lot easier. I also find you percentage of "bad" players is higher live.

The downside of course is no multitabling!! So while I probably do better live in terms of return on my investment, I can win more online because I can play more tables.

Another benefit of live is I'm far less likely to tilt. When I get sucked out online I still have quite managed to control my emotions all the time. I can change from being a reasoned and thoughtful player to a rash and degenerate gambler in the space of a few hands! Live though, I can walk away, take a couple of minutes, have a smoke or whatever and get over it pretty quick.

Online for cash games as you can multi table, players are generally worse and speed is much qucker so you see more hands.

Live for MTTs as you will never see a prizepool you see at the WSOP on the internet.

Closest is Pokerstars Million and that is around the same level as a pretty crappy WSOP event.
