Yep. The toughest game I regularly played in was 2/4 full ring LHE on Stars pre-BF. You had to game and seat select rigorously and there were still always players on the table who were math geniuses and very tough to play against. There is no live game I have ever played in regularly that compares in any way to that level of difficulty.
I would say that a typical 20/40 or 25/50 game in LA is the equivalent of 10c/25c on Stars pre-BF, and a typical 8/16 game is like 5c/10c. And sometimes live games, even yellow/red chip live games, are like 2c/4c.
There are a handful of people in town who played online, did a ton of math, have incredible discipline, and are just amazing live. Just a handful. Many people who are probably winning live players wouldn't have been able to beat 50c/1 online.
