I recognise that quote may or may not be aimed at me, but either way it comes across as a petty online v live player jibe, with little substance. So you didn't like/adapt/do well live and wish those that have done so fail; and you think will be cool if they do, to add insult to injury. Sad. I know have run well so far. I know I will run bad at some point. I do "owe" online for improving my play drastically and much more quickly than I could ever have done live. I have just found I much prefer live to sitting in front of my PC. The social interaction and actually being around my opponents, watching and reacting to them rather than my hud and or screen. The option to play in different places. I find it all much much more stimulating face to face.
I don't play solely for the money (ie pro or semi pro - all my money just goes back into my roll to try and go as high as I can to test myself and see where that plateau is, where I can't get further). I play for the metal stimulation and fun of it and try to improve and never played more than four tables at once, usually just two. I perhaps should have mentioned my route to live is perhaps not for those looking to build a roll and live on, I certainly respect online poker players - well, the objective ones at least - and their abilities and think that came across in my post.
