Difference between your Online and B&M game?

[Brad1970]

I limp more live than online but not a ton of difference in the big picture as far as strategy goes. It's still poker.

Alot of online players think live poker is too slow but there is more of a "people" element to live poker.

I thinks the tells aspect that everyone pushes is vastly overrated.

Live players generally offer spectacular implied odds, and the ability to limp. Because of the TAGGISH nature of most online games, limping is usually a bad strategy.

Because live players tend to call more, continuation bets aimed at the wrong players are stupid. Online, the cont bet is your best friend. I think live players get stuck on top pair wayyy more and your sets and flushes get paid.

On the other hand, the pace makes me want to stick a pencil in my eye and the rake is like, everything on the whole table every 2 hours or so.

From my perspective, it is the same game with vastly different player pools. Most good players will find that their edge is much higher live but that the inability to multitable, incredibly high rake, and slow pace counter this, and make the internet more profitable.

The first that comes to my mind is the standard PF raise which is usually 2 to 3 times higher live.

Table image is also way more important in live game than online.

During online, I feel like a social outcast. During live, I feel like the rest of the table are social outcasts.

there is no difference for me. I suck equally at online poker as I do live.

[drugged]

The major difference for me is booze. Online I don't drink to stay focused. Live I have to drink to stay sane.

Preflop raises. Online standard for 1/2 is 6-10. Live 15-25+ is standard, at least in my game.

Live players are much, much worse. If I could play 500 hands/hr with live players with infinite money I would make $1500/hr easily.

Online
+easy to table shop, easy to have good starting hand discipline (fast pace, multi-tabling). Easy to leave if it sucks.
-fish bust out quick, usually replaced by another but no sure thing. Easy to have household distractions.

Live
+Fish, fish that keep pulling out more hundos, fish that go to the atm, fish that make credit card withdrawls at the cage. Scenery. Conversation.
-got to drive there. Tend to stay when stuck/playing poorly (i.e. turn into da fish). Can be boring (hello conversation or ipod)

Live Lower and Mid Limit
The Play = Loose/Passive - You can limp more marginal hands (Axs, 78s, 33) because the chance of others limping and nobody raising behind you are high. You play most hands multiway (5+players). You can't really bluff or continuation bet because they will call you with any pair or draw. Just wait to get big hands and get paid off.
Negatives
-it may be hard to leave if things go bad early and you have driven a long way to get there.
-People can be annoying
-You will play less hands per hour
Positives
-You can actually look at the people at the tables which can help you pick out the right ones to play at.
-People are often interesting
-Intangibles of playing live, Stacking the chips, feeling the cards, etc...

Online Micro Limit and up.
The Play = Tight/Aggressive - you can't limp into lots of pots because it's likely to get raised or 3 bet behind you. You play most hands 2 or 3 way. You have to wait for good hands and you should usually be raising if coming into a hand. You don't cold call with any dominated type hands. If you have the right image you can make some moves that will work.
Negatives
-You feel like a hermit
-Can't see players and physical tells, mannerisms
Positives
-You can play more hands
-Easier to quit if you are getting crushed

I prefer live a lot better these days but both have good and bad aspects as you can see..
