online tougher than B&M???

HuskerFan85 · #1 03-22-2007, 03:35 AM

I believe this is true, because I have had consistent wins while in cardrooms, and some of the things I've seen in live play have made the crazy things done online seem mild.
I'm glad where I'm at in Cali theres a cardroom nearby, but I really can't wait till I'm moving down near Gulfport/Biloxi MS.

Anyways, I was wondering if theres actually people out there that have BETTER luck online than in a B&M. I wonder about the differences here and just needing a straight shot why cardroom/casino poker is more proflitable than online, or vice-versa.

3/6 live plays like a .50/1 online game

live is waaay easier in general, it was pre-frist too, now much more so.

tougher doesn't necessarily mean less profitable, as you can play many more hands per hour online

I find online to be tougher too, I'm pretty sure it's because of the sheer numbers of experienced and well practiced players.

Online players generally have seen far more hands and thusly have had more experience dealing with just about every hand scenario possible than most live players.

It's amazing to me how few of the people I play at my live games have ever played online.

The live game I play daily is the 60-120 fixed limit.

wayyyyy easier than the 1 dollar 2 dollar I play at stars.

POTS average 12 BB

Online youll be lucky to find pots that are 6bb averages. at anything about 1-2.

More like .5/.10 in my experience, but of course your mileage may vary.

I'm a recreational player, internet poker boom guy who first played on the internet 5 years ago. With all the crazy nonsense going on now in the US I went to a B&M cardroom for the first time in my life late last year in Tunica which is close to where I live. I barely ever play a hand online anymore, there really is no need too. If the Republicans have their way and totally wipe out internet poker (and internet freedom) I can honestly say I won't miss internet poker one bit - which is something I never thought I would think.
