I'm grunching but why do these threads always get so many posts? OP literally said nothing of interest, no **** the best live players are going to be better at playing live poker (on average) than the best online players just like the best live players will most likely go broke playing the best online players in an online setting. You mean to tell me there's more information in live poker, that live players are more accustomed to noticing and exploiting? WOW!

The best live players can include online players, and vice versa. Ivey is amongst the best online players, and similarly it's very likely someone like ike is in the top 50 live cash players.

....

None of this is news.

Ya, know I've seen people ask this one here a lot.

I don't play anywhere near the level of the people they are normally talking about.


But I generally play 9 to 12 tables of 100NL and/or 200NL online and live I'll play 2/5NL (or 1/2NL if I'm waiting for a 2/5 table):

On some decisions at the live game I will think for a while. Definitely longer than I could spend on most decisions online. Why? I've thought about this a tiny bit. Maybe (in no particular order):

1.) I can. I have more time now and I can use it if I want to.

2.) I'm not as used to live play. The play of the average online player and the play of the average live player is different. I'm more used to the average online player. Just taking a little bit to think through what would generally happen in live play here. (Of course unless I know enough to have a more specific read on the individual.)

3.) In a bunch of situations I have to count the size of the pot (I often try to keep track of it throughout the hand) and then determine my pot odds depending on the size of a bet I am facing. I may count multiple times to make sure I'm right.

4.) Similar to 3 I may just want to count the pot to decide what bet size to make.

5.) Also similar I may want to try to determine how large the stacks of my opponents are. Gotta count (estimate).

Have you seen jungleman or isildur play alot live? no. durrr, Phil Ivey and Phil Galfond also played alot online b4 black friday. Galfond maybe still does

So glad I stumbled onto this thread. I have lol'd at more posts ITT than in any other thread I have ever read and this post is my favorite.

Also, Daliman, thanks to this thread I found the other thread about the match with EC10 or whoever, that thread also delivered, congrats on winning! I wish AEJones would take you up on your HH analysis, would be so awesome.

Thank you, sir. Yes, those were the days. Actually casual acquaintances with both EC10 and AEJones now, (more with AEJ).

Since joining 2+2 I have cancelled my cable contract and not watched any tv for 2 weeks. I must be reading about 5 hours worth a day(sad I know). I would like to thank a few people for the entertainment you're giving me(I think naming them would be unfair and rude).
None of what I'm saying is a joke or sarcasm. Thank you all, keep up the good work.

CLIFFS:


EDDtown: Live players are better playing live
samoleus: HU?
EDDtown: Why argue? I'm done with this thread.

That's nice to hear. I'm sure there are many stories like this - people swinging their dicks at each other online and they meet IRL and get along just fine.

BTW I remember you from the STTF days when I was more active, I remember you and curtains arguing and stuff, now those REALLY were the days LOL.

You always seemed like a nice enough guy to me, come think of it, pretty much everyone in the STTF seemed nice enough. If you ever find yourself in Estonia (admittedly not very likely), I'll happily buy you some beers.

Be well.

And I LOL'd once again. This thread really is the nuts.

What I really love about samoleus's offer is that he phrased it so nice and polite, probably too much to hope for that this actually happens.

I also remember those STTF days.

LOL sounds ALOT LIKE OP

Meh, OP probably didn't take into account that Casey may have been triple range merging his intelligence.

So you are not accepting samoleus challenge? Despite the fact that he rarely plays live and as such you should be able to crush him regardless of his online skill?

1) Make delusional claims
2) Get challenged
3) Leave thread ignoring the challenge
4) ????
5) Profit

wp

love how he writes that whole thing, plans on proving it by listing the top 10 players in the world then realizes he is wrong so just doesnt list them

I assure you, he has not realized he is wrong.

I will start off his list for you, however:

1. Gabe Costner
2. Claudia Crawford

AWESOME post

link please?

^^^ was EDDtown's last post ITT.


too good, needed to be quoted together.

I know. I've never been so happy to have Daliman come into a thread before!

Enjoy!

thank you!


Enthusiastically,

Had to chime back in after seeing that pic of Claudia, HA. Have to admit that is pretty funny.


But you know whats even funnier, The intelliect & logic applied by the naive internet players on this forum, I've never laughed so hard in my life & some of the post you make.

I don't understand why there is such mystery with the common sense logic behind this thread. My results pretty much speak for themselves. I've been proving people wrong ever since I started playing poker.


I'm not even a tourney player & the first year I played tournaments I finished with the most final tables, I've mowed through fields of thousands of players including the 2nd biggest field ever & the 1st biggest field outside of the main event to hold chip leads in both with less than 1% of the field left, including a final table on the biggest 2k field ever. And 90% of my chips came from INTERNET PLAYERS. My whole strategy revolved around watching them & taking their chips because they were the ones splashing around in pots the most. Not bragging, but that's just how it is.

The stupid thing is that I used to play online, millions of hands online & at one point was #1 in full tilt frequent points after the site first opened, So I know 99% of what any online kid knows, plus I know all the other stuff they don't about live poker, because I've been playing it since before NL first blew up in the casinos. I'm definately seen more live hands than 99% of the players that have played in the past 10 years since NL cash started being spread in the casinos. I spent that part of my life studying it, So yea when I say I can play with anyone, I can back it up. I also put my money where my mouth is, just like when I said I would never wear an internet logo. That doesnt mean that I care to bounce around the country & play some online player HU, I don't care because I don't have to prove anything, Ive already did it. When I say that in 10 years of playing I've never played with anyone that I feel can extract more money out of a game when the cards run average, I'm just being honest.

Samoleus said he would fly anywhere (bounce around himself), all you have to do is agree to play and then wait for him. The fact that you have not even had the decency to respond to his challenge speaks for itself,

Big talk, but when push comes to shove, the big disappearing act. We've seen it all before, many times.

Put up, or shut up.
