The Difference Between Live & Internet Hearts Play

Video Transcript

"There is a difference between playing on the Internet and playing at a live tournament. Well, we touched on this earlier in Spades and basically the same premise and the same facts apply. When you play in a live tournament, you have the opportunity to play against real people, meet your friends if you play online, and to really have a good time. There's a nice camaraderie that develops at live tournaments. The advantage of live tournaments are, well, Hearts is a game that I am thoroughly convinced that it's almost impossible to cheat at Hearts. How do you cheat at Hearts? Sit down at the table and say, hi you want to help me out? That will get you ostracized and even online. You think? So the bottom line is very simple, you play live, you play to have a great time, if you are going to win some money, win some money. Yeah I guess you feel good throwing the queen. I mean there are some people out there that do it a little bit flamboyant. I don't think anybody wants to get queen like that thrown on them or even pushing it across the table to them. I mean just throw it and maybe even say I'm sorry, that's really odd, but to just too really have a good time when you're playing live, great way to meet people. Playing on the Internet is comfortable, it's inexpensive, you play in your home, and you play in your computer room or in your living room or wherever you happen to have your computer. You have social banter, you develop these online relationships, and it?s really great. It's inexpensive. You can have access to the refrigerator in between deals. Nobody is going to care. You can do a BRB bathroom break. It's great and people like it and it's a great way to meet people online, develop a rapport and improve your game and that isn't bad."
