harrington hating on the online game

[schwza]

all over HOH there are comments like "and since this is an online player, he could have any ace or any two suited."

my experience has been that internet players are much better than players at casinos (well, foxwoods, at least) at a given stake.

what the dilly?

I agree that online play at a given level is tougher than B&M play, and I think that Harrington knows this too. I think he used the term online to be synonomous with low buy-in, as opposed to a big $1,000-$10,000 B&M tournament. Since there is no such thing as a $5 B&M tournament, you see plays in $5 internet tournaments that you probably would not see too often in a casino.

I think Harrington is mostly talking more about the $1-$20 buy in tournaments that don't really exist in real life.
