future of the online cardrooms

[Jimmy Afternoon]

I used to play 25nl and 50nl on pokerstars, starting right before the legislation. I did O.K., but when I started playing live I couldn't believe how bad the play was at 5-5 nl. the .1/.25 players are ten times tougher than these casino players. 1-2 nl is even worse. I'd always played online until recently, but once i played live i don't see any reason to ever play online again, except for tournaments. log on to pokerstars and watch a .25/.50 limit ring game, and watch how many times they all fold around to the big blind and never even take a flop. com pare that to any 3-6-12 live game in the U.S., where the pot is routinely capped before the flop with 6 or more players in. I think the days of partypoker are over.
