I have seen Barry Greenstein address this on this site. His argument is that the caliber of player you play against is much more important than how many hands you played. Playing 500,000 hands against inferior opponents is not going to make you better.

[/ QUOTE ]That's an argument for the best online players being superior to the best live players. The standard of play live is far, far lower than online. There's a lot more drop in business from rich people wanting to gamble in LA and Vegas than there is online.

Ffs, Tran's example were laying down KK preflop. You can't do that against good players; it's an example of live players, *possibly*, being better than live players against passive fish who makes their AA obvious.

Think about it this way... Someone who played 500,000 hands of micro limits online is not necessarily going to be better than someone who has played 100,000 hands of nosebleed limits, right?

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but it's the live players who'er the micro players in your example.

You need to actually play against better players to improve your game.

[/ QUOTE ]And that's exactly what the best online players have done, to a far greater extent than Doyle and the gang.
