Online players rely on luck.

Live plays rely on luck(or collusion, chip dumping, and cheating).

Also, I never cross that line, baby. Except for that one time, and several other times.

Scotty is the man though.....could care less if he is hated on here....I loved the dressing down he gave DeMichele. I love the swagger he had on the last hand of his ME win....the "21" comments/bluff at Humberto in 2003....etc. etc.

He is a character, and is GREAT for poker.

Scotty is an over the top caricature of what a Vietnamese gambler would be/look like......and he is a campy hoot.

Very well said!! Agreed!!

I doubt Scotty knows much about online poker thus who cares what he says about it.

That is not poker experience, it is video gaming. I don't see how that prepares anyone for real poker in a legitimate poker setting. As someone once said, there is a difference between playing poker on line and playing on line poker.

You can flame as I know you will, but you cannot demonstrate how playing that type of on line game prepares you for live games. These people aren't seeing many situations, hell you aren't even watching the game.

um, nano could completely bankrupt the majority of live pros at NLHE. Obviously the majority of rakeback pros are just playing ABC TAG, but they could still destroy most live cash games.

so he basically talks about how bad the new players are how they have to rely on luck, and then says the game is much harder now. Doesnt make sense to me

"When I give someone hell at the tables I don't cross the line that makes them hate me.

"I may bust them but they still respect me because they know I never cross a line that shouldn't be crossed."

What he probably meant can best be illustrated by the situation where you have QQ and you think there is a good chance your opponent has AK. Older players tended to wait to see the flop before moving in while modern players tend to move in immediately. That is the kind of thing I think he was talking about. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that modern players count on being lucky.

Well baby, that's the most understated sentence I've ever read.

May I refer you to Exhibit A:

I don't see how it was understated. Maybe you just don't read much?

I was actually about to post the same thing though. It seems like nobody actually read the article. More accurate would to be he said that online players take more chances than live players which leads to luck having a greater impact. And given the way the online games have evolved with insane preflop aggression that is obviously true.
