Maybe once you get to the top top live tier, there is a big skill jump, or maybe I just played it for a really soft week... but I doubt it. The fact is, the best players play online cause you can win more money at it. Even if I had a higher expectation per hand in that 25/50 game than playing 5/10, the fact that I get 30 hands an hour at live 25/50 and 600 hands per hour at 5/10 means that my winrate would have to be FOUR TIME AS HIGH at 25/50 then at online 5/10 for me to have a higher hourly there. Given how rarely high stakes pure NL games run that are easy to get into, it makes perfect sense that the best players in the world play primarily online.

That's quite a logical leap you took. It could also mean that the top 20 players in the world don't need to be/have no desire to be in action all the time. And/or that they have no trouble getting into the big game (or at least *a* big game) when they need to.
