live poker/online poker
 

Just wanted to no some of your views about the difference's between live and online poker. There are obvious differences but i cant understand how some player's like daniel negreanu can suck at online poker (which he even admitted in his blog) but be one of the best live!!!

to my point i can play good live poker with decent success in various tourny's/cash games....... how ever with online play its totally different. I find tht even tho i have been losing money online i go back to it due to the amount of money that can be won in a single session online which i suppose wiht hinesight its a really dumb thing to do.

I would just like to see some peoples views on, online poker and live poker! an if there is anyway of converting decent live play to decent online play??

U can't possibly no what I no.

There are the obvious differences such as getting over around 750 hands/hr online compared to 25-35 live, then there is the fact that with online play you have to make generalizations.

With online play, you almost always get it in with a boat/set and a lot of hands just because it's that much harder to narrow your opponent's range. However when you sit at a table with someone for hours, and really get a feel for their play it's possible to fold hands such as the 2nd nuts, correctly.

Could it be that the aggression level is much higher online?

DN is not one of the best live

This is harder to say, because the upswings and subsequent downswings are just that much more pronounced live.

PT/PAHUD ftw? these programs offer much more insight about a player's style than you can get in many hours of live play.

Online poker is rigged and live poker is not rigged. That is the main difference between the two.
