I definitely prefer to play in a casino more than play home games. I enjoy the social aspect of home poker games but it is the casino that pushes me to the edge to improve and push to be a pro poker player. Playing poker in a casino gives you that professionally structured environment and intensity to stay focused and be serious when you are on the table playing poker.
I like home games because it is a more relaxed environment compared to the crowd in the casino. They often cause distractions especially if the opponent is lousy.
Home game is more relaxing and comfortable than casino. In home games, i play without seriousness especially when the game involves my family members and friends. But in casino, my psyche is prepared and ready for poker game showdown. Though, i prefer home games environment where i interact and chat with my dudes. What is poker game is all about?
I will always prefer playing poker in the casino as well. I want to feel the pressure of either winning or losing. There is no point trying to relax and focus on playing these games at home for someone like me who wants to experience a different level of fun at the end of the day.
