5/10nl live skill level is to _______ online

[SpleenLSD]

Though I voted for NL$200, my guess is somewhere between $100 and $200 depending on the time of day and the city you're playing in. They're not exactly equivalent because B&M requires some familiarity with speed of play, handling chips, action, reading live tells, etc.

Seriously all you online muppets have no clue about live poker its ridiculous.

Ten times harder, are you on crack?

I have been winning at live $5/10 for 2 years now. I have never been able to consistently beat $200 NL online, I did ok on Party Poker but in the last year not so much. That being said I would love to see some of the $200 NL players from Stars come sit in the $5/10 rotation game I jusy came home from, I think that most of them would be in for a rude awakening, I said most because there are plenty of players who have no problem making the transition from online to live and vice versa. For me, it really is a different game and I have accepted that I don't have the discipline to play succesfully online, it's more for entertainment than profit. I'm only speaking for myself I'm sure other players would strobgly disagree.

where are all of the 200NL players crushing the live 10-20 games? does this mean that an internet 5-10 player would crush 50-100 NL live. all of us fish at the casino would love to play with you all when you become 21. i think you vastly underestimate the skills of live players and the effect that deep stack poker has (compared to 100-200 BB online).

Here's the thing: online poker isn't real poker. It's like miniature golf compared to real golf: it has skills, but not the full range of skills. Which means all these guys talking about how good they are at mini-golf, when they have to play the whole game, get spanked. They especially embarrass themselves when they say they've played more hands of poker/rounds of golf than Doyle Brunson/Tiger Woods.

People play looser live because games are slower, because they aren't 10-tabling, so waiting for good cards is harder, sure, but also because everyone else is playing looser in real games, so playing loose yourself makes more sense, and, most importantly, because you have the ability to read your opponents. I know many online players suffer the delusion that they can read their opponents (some roulette players think they can tell which numbers are coming up), but what you can do online pales in comparison to the real thing.

Online poker is for anti-social or socially graceless stay-at-home geeks for whom a hand job from an average looking girl is a life-highlight. These are guys who think everyone smells bad and dresses poorly and is boring and weird (and all the other comments online players make about why they don't want to be around other humans). Don't be one of them. The map is not the territory; porn isn't sex; your monitor is not the world.

well i could be wrong but im just guessing that most of the winning 200nl players probably dont have the bankroll to play 5/10nl live. especially b/c a lot of the time the game plays much deeper than 100bb so they might not feel that they are comfortably rolled for the swings.
