Online you never get a whale but live you get lots.

When you get married your live action is severely limited but online is still available.

Its probably because he sux at reading body language (which is THE single most important skill in live poker) due to being a social ******

Picking up those tells can add 30 BB per hr to your game easily

Better get to reading some Mike Caro there Mr Buskay

Is this a joke? Doesn't Busquet have a WPT title?

this just in. Democrats think they are the best. So do Republicans. Nothing will get you to change their minds, ever.

Liv is right in what he said but it was uncalled for.

Wow there are some really great posts buried in this thread. I recommend giving it a read. Especially the posts by ansky, vanessa selbst and others responding to them.

Thanks. Just that there are myriad parallels.

For example when you are a teenager it is hard to get any live action so you are on the internet all the time.

We all remember our first live score but the first time online fades into the memory after a while.

Live, people do it 'cause they just love sticking it in. Online a lot of the time you're watching people who only are only sticking it in to get money.

Live, it matters if the other people smell bad. Online it doesn't.

And finally: That most healthy guys are able to enjoy both so the rivalry is unnecessary, but it's hard to find girls who will admit being into either.

Lots of thing Busquet tweets are just to stir the pot and are for the most part nonsense questions or statement, but he is entertaining.

all yhe people i play against live .. reside within 50 miles of the casino.

so for a fair comparison all my online opponents would need to live within 50 miles too/

or open a live game. and bring in the worlds best, and compare that to the same online game.

Online poker is like Champions League, live poker is the World Cup.

The competition is worse but there's more glory in it.

Yes. Sometimes it is a solution.

Nice bump. It's very interesting to see 2013 Dan Colman's thoughts.

I would almost guarantee you in a live mtt that Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Selbst, Jason Mercier would think they are in the same category of players as an Ike or ragen70 all because they have been slapped in the face repeatedly by run good. Especially Negreanu.
