Re: Internet Strategy Different that Live?
In internet play, the competition is much tougher at lower limits, and much, much tighter. An "all in" is often the nuts or close.
In live play, the games are typically much looser and far more passive as well. However, the rake is proportionally much larger and the games extremely slow, comparatively speaking. Additionally, N/L games of the same blind structure play much bigger live. By this I mean that at 1/2 NL online a $10 bet will fold the whole table. At many live games it will be viewed as a standard opening raise. You will get more free cards live, and players will more often have suspect kickers. Bad Aces seem to stick to alot of live players hands for some reason.
and of course live there is a ton more information available regarding your opponents, and a ton more time to process the info.
Finally, a 12 hr shift at a casino card room is "recreation."
A 12 hr shift multi-tabling online is sheer hell.
Obviously, these difference at a minimum will change both your starting hands and your interpretation of raises.
