sdc12303 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I for one totally agree with you. But online poker is great for people who are under 21, or live in the middle of nowhere, or people with kids and wives who can't go out and play whenever they want. But just about everyone i have talked to that has access to card rooms definetly prefers it. Online poker really should not be considered anywhere near the same thing as live poker. totally different games. To be plain and simple people who play only online take about a year of playing like a donkey when they try live. Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 To be plain and simple people who play only online take about a year of playing like a donkey when they try live.Orly?I have had no such problems transitioning to live games. Actually I think live players are much worse than online. In my opinion, the average .10/.25 NL player online is quite a bit better than the average 1/2 NL player live. I think it's the same when you move up as well. Link to post Share on other sites
suicideking 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well, I can see your point. I have a buddy who is terrible online, but great live (a lot of his game relies on picking up on things you can only see live, tells etc.) And I think I am the opposite, way better online than live. I have almost no experience live, and feel much more comftorable in my own apartment knowing what I'm doing. Whatever you make $ with man. Who cares where right? Link to post Share on other sites

Who cares where right?People are so horrible online that you don't have to utilize tells. Betting patterns are all you need. More hands = more money. All a bad beat means is that you got in with the best of it and in the long run will come out ahead and online, that's way ahead. Why do you think you see so many people making a living off online poker? Link to post Share on other sites
MinhLyFan 1 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I agree with the OP in that i think online poker is a wate of time unless you are a great tournament play and you don't live anywhere near a good live game. I can regularly beat the live 10-20 game i attend but a 2-4 or 5-10 game on the internet has got to be two and three times tougher. Even if i multi table i still cannot even come close to making the same amount of money as i do in the casino. I also like physically handling my chips, talking to the other players and getting out of my house more than i do sitting alone listening to the same music i could on my ipod and making less money per hour.

nosoul 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think a lot of the online players have trouble playing live because they don't know how to disguise their own tells. The don't realize they're giving away their hands. They're used to yelling at the screen and whatnot, which they can't do live. But their body still wants to. And their opponents will pick up on it.When I visit Vegas, it's usually obvious (at least at the lower limits) who the online players are. They have good card sense, but you can read them like a book. It's easy to bluff them off their hands and easy to fold when they have a hand. Link to post Share on other sites
k-10isnogood 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 well, for starter u save a couple of bucks each hand on the rake. that adds up to thousands after a year.another positive is u don't have to listen to people complain about bad beats and this and that.....but you play about a hundred more hands a day, and they are against maniacs and you end up going broke anyway.

DonkDonkDOnk 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 the sites dont like it when you withdrawl, they set me up many times over to lose after a big withdrawl , i think basically to say "dont take money out of our site , go elsewhere and play".. happens on every major site to me i actually feel like there are less badbeats online ... they want to keep you around to rake, not bust you out seems like everytime i go to a local casino and play very very inprobable bs happens in of course a very small sample of hands.... i keep going back because i know sooner or later it will even out and also i will get really unlucky and hit the bad beat jackpot ...

TheCorporation3 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 And I said I lost a few hundred dollars I lost a little over 400 before it was said and doneOk, maybe I missed something...You said you lost $400 in a 10/20 game. So that would be 20BB...Close to a decent buy in. 1 session, one live game session would be 20-30BB. So I don't get it? You had a 20BB losing session and now on-line poker sucks? Well I'm sure everyone has announced this, but less rake and no tipping dealers = MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.Not to mention multi table playing...You can see 28-35 hands in an hour at a good 10/20 game. I can see 300 an hour playing 4 tables...Make sense?My 1 hour of play is equal to you playing for 10 hours seeing your 30 hand an hour rate, so now which is better? Of course, if you suck, seeing less hands would be more proffitable for you, lol not more. Link to post Share on other sites

throwemaway 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Now I can understand if you live in an area that is no where near a card room and want to play poker for money. However if you live near a card room I see no point of it. I play regularly at the Commerce, Hustler, and The Bike in LA and I thought there was more than a regular amount of bad beats going around the medium limits. That is until I played online. I thought I would set up an account and play when I had time off from work or down time at home and didn’t want to drive out. Its worth the damn drive.I was used to bad beats for play chips but I thought that would fall off when real money was involved. Boy was I wrong. I burned through a few hundred in a day or two playing 8/16 to 10/20 on Full Tilt before doing the wise thing and cashing out. So my point is. If you live near a card room why on earth would you risk your hard earned money at a place that is apparently known for bad beats? Please correct me if I am wrong.Without readin any other replies, let me just say...hahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahha!Have a good one!

WowThats 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 In my opinion the reason people see more bad beats online is due "action flops"... nearly every hand is a action flop compared to live where you only see a action flop 1 or 2 in 10. Don't worry everyone has been the victim of action flops even if they don't want to admit it. Link to post Share on other sites
WallstreetMSU 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Im not saying its rigged. Im just saying the level of play is just underpar to what I am used to.I don't know what casino's you play at but in my experience the players in live casino games are much much weaker than online.I live near detroit and I do prefer casino's to online play simply b/c they players are so much worse at the casino compared to the online players. I am making this comparison by limits. Example: The game I play at Motor City Casino in Detroit is 300min NL. People usually sit with anywhere from 1k to 3k on average. I find this game very easy to beat and I do pretty well, but online players at these stakes like a 2k max buy in NL, those players are much better than the players playing at the casino (IMO.)Now back to your original question:You can play multiple tables at once, increasing your potential for profits.You don't have to get up, get dressed and drive to a casino, pay for parking, pay for gas, etc.As others said, you can sit on your butt, clothed or not, and play poker on your couch.
