As with all such questions, it is relative, there is no one thing that is objectively 'better' than another. I personally prefer to play online, and I would say that in general there is a tendency nowadays as in everything else, that people prefer online versions of activities that can be done in person. There is more and more online banking and less and less people going in person to a bank branch, or people watching movies online at home instead of going to the cinema. Well, this is the same, although it depends on personal preferences and there will be those who prefer to go to the casino in person.
There is no way for another player to know his opponent's cards unless his opponent shows them to the other players. If you want to learn bluffing, you can play poker offline. You can see the player's expressions, trying to be calm as if they had bad cards.
You must be able to bluff your opponent, especially if you don't have good cards. This makes it difficult for them to guess the cards you have. But if you play poker online, you won't know the facial expressions of each player.
Playing offline poker provides a more stressful and enjoyable experience than online poker. That's because we can see the expressions of each player. We can also learn to act to outwit other players.

if you are a poker player of both then surely you will choose Offline because the feeling and the excitement is there reading each opponent about their behavior an reactions but if you wanted to be fooled by online operators then you will be forever in that positions.
personally I hate online gambling because we cannot see our opponents faces to read whats on their mind.

I think both online and offline gambling is fun and one cannot deny that there are a lot of people who prefer online gambling over offline gambling and the same goes for Poker too. If all depends upon one interest.
Also sometimes we have no one around us to whom we can take ourselves to play physical poker and sometimes you won't find time to visit a poker club to pay with an unknown individual. In these cases. Online poker comes in handy when you can enjoy it online and use the chat feature on the sites that enable you to chat with the opponent, though still, his face won't be visible.

Whether online or offline is is based on choice as some people may prefer playing online while others will choose playing online but to me I would prefer online poker because it is very transparent without any manipulation but for offline poker I feel there is always partiality and manipulation which doesn't make the game funful, so the reason for playing a game is just for fun and not for timid feelings
Playing Poker online, you cannot predict your opponent's emotions. I think this is the most important thing for you to win in this game. If you cannot grasp the opponent's psychology and how they react when betting, it will be difficult for you to make your decision. Poker is an emotional game, if we play online, we will not be able to get this feeling, losing the fun of the game. Therefore, I often prioritize playing offline poker rather than playing online. If playing online, you should choose to play via webcam, it will be less boring.
I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.
In offline poker, you can try to fool other opponents with your act, expressions, or others but on the other side your opponent may read it eventually. What you need to do when playing poker in both offline and online is that you should not play with fixed pattern because your opponents will be able to read it easily. Which one is better between offline and online? It depends on your preferences, some players prefer to play offline because the experience is real by playing face to face with others while some others prefer to play online because of their own reasons.
People like you, I presume a predictable one because you can't hold your emotions when you have good cards.
Yes, this is the problem when I am playing poker offline, I can't hide my emotion when have a good card, my face will definitely light up and my opponent will know that I have good cards. And, Of course it will be different if I am play online, no body know my gesture, and indirectly I can acting like I don't have a good card. But, is there any casino where we playing poker with videos like zoom, or meeting?, if there were, this would be very interesting because even playing online and don't meet with another playing, we can know their face like playing ofline poker.
Just don't react to it, best thing to do is to play poker and learn how to control your emotions, you can hide your anger when something makes you angry right? Use that method to hide what you're feeling in that hand that you've been dealt with, it's not easy but it takes practice, you can also do a more advance thing but since you're an emotional person, you can probably do it much better, using that emotion to bluff and deceive your opponents, be boisterous and loud that it annoys the players which can most of the time throw them off their game if you've done a good job being a crazy guy on the poker table, you can watch how Daniel Negreanu play in high stakes table, dude really pisses off good poker players with his antics and his crazy predictions, some even give up their poker face when he hits the right cards of his opponents. I think that offline is a more socially energizing way to play poker than an online one, I think there's no debate in here, if you can talk while playing poker, that's the much better thing to do.
I think it just entirely depends on your situation. Some people like to play poker online that way they can be playing multiple games at once. Personally I think playing poker in person is far more fun and more legitimate. It's really hard to do things such as bluffing when you're playing online.
Either way for me, poker is hands down the best game Casino wise, so I like to play online as well as in person.

If you bet all in every time you get some nice cards you are easy to read. It's foolish to talk about what can happen on the poker table without knowing many factors (number of players, their bankrolls, type of the game, etc), but generally going all in with good cards can easily backfire on you. Poker requires patience, watching other players, and whenever you have good cards to try to get them into play...
I'm more into online poker, but I have been playing very rarely in the past years. Somehow crypto poker places don't catch my interest... I guess I will be more active when some interesting poker places come up.
I play a lot on Pokerstar poker app on playstar and I encounter a lot of players that always playing all-in whether good or bad cards because they are relying solely on the flop, turn and river card to be in their way. They have nothing to lose since chips in there are cheap and free. They can always buy in when they bust.
This is what I hate in online poker because players are unpredictable. After all, they always think that they can always play again using their reserve money. I still don't play on real online poker tables but my experience with free poker games makes me discouraged from playing with real money.

Playing offline has a huge tense but at least, you can be assured that the game is fair or something no hidden illegal activities.
Unlike in online games, well, that is somewhat easy to decide but as I've said, we can't assure that this is fair game or somewhat manipulated results. And most of all, the tendency to lose control of our emotions and be spending more.
Which is better? A place where I enjoy the game without thinking that I was cheated. I think that is everyone's wish - to have a fair game and even we lose we don't blame the casino.

There's no way you will know your opponent's card, even if it means that they go all in suddenly after a few checks and a couple of cards on the deck. Some people are good at being unpredictable, those are the people who played poker their whole life. Some people are predictable after several rounds.
People like you, I presume a predictable one because you can't hold your emotions when you have good cards. Veterans can go all in even if the cards in their hand and on the deck doesn't make sense, just to bluff and scare those mediocre players.
That, is the beauty of the poker compared to other gambling games. Poker is more than just gambling, it's a psychological warfare.
It depends on the person, some say that online poker is better compared to offline poker because it is more accessible and offers a more enjoyable playing experience, but there are also those who say that offline poker is better because it is "the real poker". I don't play poker myself, so I can't say which is better, but if you look at gamblers nowadays, most of them say that online poker is better than offline poker, because of the convenience and their identities are less exposed, and I quite agree to that.
I think it is easier to read the mind of players when you play offline. Some players are nervous when they are up against you and if you are well into your game you can easily take that as advantage to psychologically outsmart the other player. Emotion is always an advantage if you can use that well but online is more robotic and you have to play without emotion because there is no room for that on the internet. So I feel the more physical aspect of poker than online.
This is not a one shoe fits all situation as everyone that plays poker has their own preference. And besides choosing between playing physically around people versus playing online can depend on how well your social skills are around people, if you feel nervous if you get around a real table and all kinds of phobias... otherwise I prefer to play online as it allows everyone to play in their own comfortable space, newbie's can play too with the aid of a chat on how to play or play in their hands and other players won't even know what's happening .
All in all, every player needs to experience both setups to avoid bias feedback, otherwise poker is enjoyed if played in person.
I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips.

For me, it's more convenient and comfortable to play poker online compared to live poker games. Because it seems like you can really think properly, and no one around you will whisper to you about the thing you are doing in poker strategy.
Unlike physical poker, where you are in the actual game itself, there seems to be a lot of distraction because there are people watching around you. You know what that means. This is just my opinion.

Like what you mentioned, this specifically depends on what type of game you are playing on.
Like what you provided on your example, poker involves skill and strategy to be employed to gain an advantage over the others. There are strategies such as bluffing, calling, etc. which could definitely yield you the win if you do it properly and convincingly. Obviously, poker is a game of strategy where playing in a physical casino can open up various strategies that cannot be employed effectively if you are playing online.
Though this may be the case, there are certain games that are played online which are as effective and convenient. For example, if you regularly play slots, then it would be recommended to play it online to save you the time and effort of visiting a casino.
At the end of the day, it really depends on the type of game you are playing. If you want to employ strategies that can only be effective face-to-face, then visit a physical casino. But if you aim for convenience, then naturally, playing online would be the best case.
