Online, a bad swing that lasts for a month will run 4+ months live

[/ QUOTE ]

For someone that 4 tables, 1 month is equivalent to 8 months of live play (4x the tables at almost 2x the speed per table)

An 8 month downswing/breakeven period would be pretty discomforting.

Thread hijack: Why do you play live as a source of income? I like to do it for social reasons sometimes, but for an extra-income stream, online play seems far superior to me, both in terms of pure profit and reduced variance per fixed unit of time (since you can crank through hands so much faster, clearly the variance per hand is similar)

I expect that you are going to say that the amount you make live is enough and that you enjoy the social nature of it rather than grinding it out solo in front of a computer.. but if not, I am curious.
