Can you be strictly Brick & Mortar?

Hey, new to the forum. I've actually been ghosting, just reading some of the theory and a lot of dissections of certain hand scenarios.

But I have this strange feeling from what I read that people who play online have a MUCH easier time playing live games vs. the other way around. I can't stand grinding online cause it's rather solitary & the discipline required is pretty epic. I had a stint on Absolute and I grinded up to the $1-$2s only to lose it all. Live games it's easier to spot fish imo.

So my question ultimately is that can I stick to only casinos/home games? Or should I dabble with online again and use that as back-up. Driving to Foxwoods is tiring, and home games are sporadic out here in MA.

yes. but it would be no way to go through life.

I'm by no means an expert on this, as I merely dabble in both online and live play by the standards on these forums.

It really depends on what your goals are. I primarily use online play for forms of poker I can't find in the B&Ms around me (specifically, STTs and to some extent 08). Perhaps you could give that a try? I went to school in Boston, and that drive to foxwoods was in fact killah....

If you hate playing online, don't play online. Leaves more for us [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I hate playing online, so I only play live. Helps that I moved to vegas, ymmv.
