Why are online players so much better? Are you being sarcastic or are there reasons? I'm seriously interested. Please expound.

This is a tricky one buy here is my shot at it.

Online players generally have a lot more experience as far as number of hands played. And as an added bonus, they have gained this experience against other online players which is a slightly different game than a live game. I am going to say it is a little faster and looser since clicking a button to call or raise is easier than pulling chips out of a stack and having 10 other people looking at you while you're doing it.

As well, lots of players in casinos are simply non poker types who get tired of black jack or roulette and try to hit the jackpot at the poker tables. As well, there are players who show up at the casino who have played home poker and know the hand rankings and how to bluff, etc. But they think holdem is just another form of a home poker game play accordingly. Even better, they may have seen a few TV shows of holdem and combine that with their current knowledge and head to the casino to make some easy money.
