can anyone identify the difference in playing online 1-2 cash games with 9 ppl and play live 1-2 cash games with 9 ppl. if ur good at playing live will u be good at playing online or vise versa?

It depends how good you are. Live is softer in most any case, so if you can beat live it's not guaranteed you can beat online, especially if the live game isn't particularly tough.

If you can beat online though, you should be able to beat the same stake live.

1/2 live is a joke and 1/2 online is not as much of a joke

Hi again ihate, the 1-2 and 1-3 cash games in Tampa are incredibly ez to beat compared to 1-2 online. I've played both and at most 1-2 live tables you have mostly level 1 thinkers who either play way, way too many hands (think the type that limp calls raises OOP w K4s because it was sooooted) and very weak tight players who don't want to put money in the pot without having a huge hand, plus there is very little PF 3 betting and most players do not have any concept of balanced ranges.

In 1-2 online on the other hand many players think at a much higher level but also know how to play position more effectively, balance their ranges and good 1-2 online players know how to extract value, including thin value, on all streets.

In other words, as the previous poster mentions there is no comparison. I've heard 1-2 live can be equated to .02/.04 online, even today's online NL50 (0.25/0.50) online games are much tougher than your average 1-2 live game IMO.
