Is online 10/20 short equivalent to 40/80 live??

[PokerPaul]

i am trying to determine whether the above statement is correct. Talking in terms of variance/risk, and rewards.

I figure you get close to twice the number of hands at short (5 or 6 max) than a full online game, so 10/20 online short should be close to 20/40 full table online.

And online full deals almost twice the speed of live, so should double again to get 40/80..roughly.

Hence, all other things being equal, what game should i play live to get about the same expectations as my online game, would 30/60 or 40/80 be about right?

And yes, i know full game strategy is different from short table, but risk/return wise, is it a fair comparison.

This is a purely mathematical/statistical question, so ignore the fact that you will also obviously be playing against much better players at a 40/80 live game than 10/20 online.

the answer is .... depeneds on the game.

The 40-80 at the Borgata is wicked aggressive and broders on the 10-20 6 max aggression level. But, most pots are a 2 or three person confrontation.

You'd be surprised.
You don't need to tke a test to play higher limits, you just need to bring money.

hmmm,

so your saying even 40-80 has its share of bad players??

maybe so, and i'm licking my chops next time i step into casino, but i think the overall general level of player will be much better at 40-80 live then 10/20 short online.

That statement is true. But there are usually soft seats in every game. Some softer than others.
