The aria has 1/2 and 5/5 plo everyday. What stakes does 1/2 and 5/5 compare to online? I've heard online is a lot harder but is it really? What would you compare these stakes to if you were taking an important test and had to answer. Tyvm

I've played a good bit of both and theyre totally different worlds. Live PLO is usually filled with recreational players.... you'll see the majority of the table limping in (lots of passive action preflop) and it will be nearly impossible to get it HU. Bring 5 buy-ins and play super tight pre so when you do see a flop you'll have a hand that can dominate multiway. Online plo you'll see a lot less limping and a lot more aggressive preflop action especially at 2/5 or higher. The 1/2 plo at aria is 500$ max buy-in but often plays with a 10$ straddle on so it's bigger than you would expect... and the 5/5 is a rock game so it's 5/5/10 with a 2k max. From what I remember both of those games were very soft but they do play very big so bring a lot of money if you intend on playing a long session.

Thanks
