Re: Live Poker Pros
The online comment is ridiculous. I'm sure there are some live players who cannot beat online, but this isn't everyone and it can be for a variety of reasons. Not everyone is an antisocial muppet who thinks life is about clicking a button on as many tables at once to brag/lie about your winrate on 2p2.com. Certain people simply prefer live dynamics, dislike computers in general, or have a game that is better suited to their local venues.
As far as the OP, the difficulties live obviously are tied to the decreased number of hands/hour, which leads to things like going two hours without hitting a board, or going a week straight when you're never up during a session, etc. The rake is also a key factor that needs to be paid attention to, and when it comes to underground venues, one must put a good deal of time into analyzing when said location may dry up, get raided, etc.
