Default Re: Difference between your Online and B&M game?

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.
