My best guess is that these guys in the casino have watched too many videos of Tom Dwan playing J2s or whatever. They only forgot the part where they are not Tom Dwan. I, on the other hand, will fold something like JTs UTG every time. Nitty, mediocre, bland? Absolutely. But it works.

I have to say though, if I only make a couple of hundred $/month playing online, the training I get from it turns out to be gold when playing live.

He's already got posts in the Beginners section and oddly enough in one of them he is saying 1/2 is to tough and gives examples where he lost all his money.

I don't know what this guy is smoking but if it takes me so far from reality I want some.

I was wondering the same thing OP. Ppl at my local 1/2 brick and mortar are SO lame, so idiot... ppl that shoves all in UTG on the dark! Yes! It is that unbelievable. And not just once, but several all ins on the dark in a row! Ppl that goes aipf heads up with something like Q7o. They are not poker players, they are just sick degen gamblers.
In my country, it is forbidden games of chance like roulette, bingo, craps, etc. So all these whales only have poker to satisfy their degeneracy. I wish I had a bigger roll to proper handle the swings and make a big profit. But I'm working on that

Brazil. Casinos are forbidden here. But poker is allowed. We just have some poker houses here. Poker is quite new here actually. Just started growing the past 5 years to now. I wonder how much delightful to a poker pro would be to play these games. It can't get any softer game than that. But you need a proper roll cause the swings will be high.

If 6 players limps for $5 and you raise to $50 at very least 4 players will call you with their crappy hands hoping for a miracle flop! If you donk bet to thin the field you will only tease their degen instincts. I already made some cash outs ~$1000, and sometimes lose some buy ins of $100. But soon enough I will be crushing these whales.

It's easy op because of what our brazilian freind said, son people just dgaf.

When I play live I'll take 1k to 1/2 with full intention of drinking myself into oblivion and losing the lot but still up overall over the years.

Gotta flip them 100bb stacks once in a while man.

Of course I cannot have the confidence yet to think I am better than average, but I'm starting to suspect it. Basically the only thing that I do is play very nitty, observe what the others are doing, almost never limp, move seat to the left of the maniacs and remember to keep the pot small with a small hand. That's about it. Even a mediocre player like me who play very tight is bound to make a profit against the average looser casino player.

The difference in toughness between the online play and the casino is huge and I've been wondering why decent online players don't just play in casinos for a much better profit.

I play in a big, touristic, european city by the way (not London).
I suggest quiting your day job. You're the next Phil Ivey.

It's not all about the sample size. It's how you use it.
