I really dont like the internet grinders who say 90% of live players are bad. It's honestly just a different style of play if you sit at any random online cash game 2/4 3/6 5/10 and just watch it and then watch a live game of those stakes its a whole different game.

If your playing the 5/10 at commerce and raise 30 pre your getting called by the whole table while being laughed at. If your playing online and raise 30 everyone folds except for the occasional 3bet. It's almost routine when it comes to online play you will never see a limp. People watch to many interviews on durrr and read to many articles on phil galfond and dont udnerstand.

If you take someone who plays mid stake cash games online and thinks the understand the game sit them at a live game table where its a whole new story. Most of them are going to lose because they cant adjust to all the loose calls and "bad" plays.

You rarely see anyone raise over 3x the blinds in an online cash but live if you dont raise at least 4.5-6 your getting called by the whole table. Guarntee 80% of online cash game players from 5/10 and down are going to get crushed live if they play the same game. Im not saying all internet players will lose live because some know how to adjust and mix it up but for the most part if your getting stomped live no doubt.

Theres absolutly no action on the internet because everyone plays the exact same. If you watch a game for an hour you see the same thing over and over and over again. fold fold fold fold raise fold fold fold or fold fold fold raise 3 bet fold fold fold. It's boring and routine and your all bad

This post is ******ed. Live poker is so ridiculously easy. The only reason any one of us wouldn't absolutely CRUSH live poker would be out of the sheer boredom associated with playing 20 hands / hour.

Seriously dude, GTFO with this garbage.

Also, where are you from? If you're from the midwest I'd be happy to head up to the Horseshoe in Indiana with you (biggest card room in the midwest) and prop bet on whether or not I get crushed in the highest stakes they have running there.

op is a moron. i'd be willing to bet he doesn't know why its ok to limp and raise 50x blind live but just sees a lot of people doing it so its cool. any reasonably good online player massacres a live game cuz its **** ******ed easy. nice post though.

I live in Los Angeles and i play at commerce and bicycle. And everyone in here "LIVE POKER IS SO EASY WE WOULD CRUSH IT ALL DAY" have never even set foot inside a casino. You guys probably think alot better then most of the players but i dont think you would be able to adapt to the play. I just think its annoying when a online player says that about live games. And plus online you get a program that tells you exactly how a player plays the second he sits down. You cant sit down at a live game and scan somebody and get their stats that **** is such a joke.

fackers most people on here have played in many live games before

the players in those games like yourself are infact terrible and we'd play them all the time if we could see more then 20 hands an hour. As is we can 1000+ hands an hour so even though our winrate is much higher in live games, our hourly is much higher online and ofc hourly > winrate

and it's easy as **** to adapt to those games, just nit it up and get paid off on your big hands, they are too ****ing dumb to realize you've folded for 3 straight hours anyway

Obviously im not gonna get back up because this is an internet poker forum but its the same as if a live player sat online in a table of all online dudes. he can just sit and wait for a hand as well no? Put a 5/10 online player at the 5/10 game at commerce or bike and he will get so crushed its disgusting.

It happens all the time to i laugh when someone sits down with their full tilt hand on and pokerstarz headphones.

All im saying is online and live is totally different game. So you all you internet players are saying theres no good live cash game players who have never played on the internet?

he can't just sit and wait for a hand because the players hes up against are far better at hand reading/playing poker than crappy live players.

and lol @ putting a 5/10 online player at a 5/10 commerce or bike game and saying he'd get crushed. I'm sure those players you see are ones who prob play .50/1 or 1/2 online as everyone I know plays in bigger games than they do online. If there was a way to prop bet on this (like somehow where u were sure we were 100% honest with our results), i'm sure almost every player on this forum would take u up in a simple prop bet (if the amount was big enough) of us playing in 5/10 live games at commerce and if we won money over say a 4 month span we'd win the bet and if not you'd win the bet.

And no i'm not saying that all online players are gods and all live players suck. Yes there are good live cash players who have never played on the internet, they are just super rare they aren't worth talking about it.

I have no clue why I even wrote out a post this long as I vowed never to argue with ******s again as no matter what you say you have a .0203% chance of changing their mind.

fwiw I tend to make bad reads often in live games because the players there are so horrible that I completely discount them playing hands in a ******ed way they they do in fact in up having, either that or im getting totaly owned. OP?

I cant believe you guys give such serious responses to an obv level account. No one is actually that ******ed.


OP, in case you are for real, how about a prop bet? Play at the same live 5/10 table for 150 hrs, whoever is up the most wins. I live in Canada and would need a pretty big bet to get me to come to LA for such a long period. Surely you'd also be willing to give odds given how big of an edge you almost certainly have.

And if you noticed its only "verified coaches" commenting on this because all the other players never sat at a real table before.

If everyone plays SO WELL in the mid-high stakes games online wats the point of playing them. Is it really profitable? or is it more profitable to play with all the "fish" in a live game wheres its automatic your getting paid on big hands and everyone is just so fkn awful
