| Which is better - an online Texas Holdem Tournament or a land based Texas Holdem Tournament?
1 - online tournaments are readily available and relatively inexpensive.
2 - online tournaments can win you access to your favorite WSOP or WPT events for as little as $5.50 - see qualifiers on almost all online poker tournament sites.
3 - you can play online in your pyjamas or at 3 am if you like - not that any of the other players online really care.

Some people prefer the live interaction of a big time Texas Holdem Tournemant like the one going on at the The Bicycle Casino (in Los Angeles) known as the "Legends Tournament" starting August 3rd to August 30th, 2006 where the main event will be a no limit holdem tournament with a $9,700 + $300 fee (or $10,000US total) for a guaranteed $1,500,000 pool.
