Online Poker Vs. Live Poker ?

[Gall]

This is my first post, so be gentle, okay?

I live in Sweden so I have almost only played poker on the internet. Been to a casino only twice in my life.

Is there any main diffrence playing irl? (except the speed that I already know)

Is it tougher playing IRL? My personal feling is that more amateurs play on the internet, but I cant know becasue dont play much on casinos.

be happy for replys!

Are you playing your live game in Sweden? Never been there myself, but I would guess the rake or drop will be pretty high compared to online. I understand the rake can be pretty outrageous in European casnios, making many games unbeatable. I would find out the rake structure in the game your planning on playing.

Many think online is tougher. This has been my experience. It's a concentration of players all over the world. Many who play higher in a casino, like 10/20, will play 5/10 or 3/6 online. So competition is tougher at lower limits. In a casino you'll have more of the "let's give poker a try" tourist who doesn't have a clue how to play.

There's other small ettiquete points, like chopping and such, but you'll pick that up pretty quick once you sit down.
