Speed difference between Online short and live?

[lefty rosen]

I have been playing online 2/4 stars short for a few weeks and I have noticed the huge speed disparity from online to live. I am guessing about 4 to 1. Is it fair to guesstimate that if I can beat the game I should be beating it 4BB? Also will I get accurate results of the equivalent of a live 8/16 game with the rake differentiation for the same table hours?

its going to be much faster online...no shuffle time in between hands and you are playing a short table. Hard to find a casino to offer short tables, they want to get as many in as possible

No meant from a fulltable, yes live casinos only go short if they have no choice.

SH is about 100hands/hour...

At Party P SH I think you pay about 1.5BB/hour to play.

If you beat the others by 1.5BB/h you are +-0BB, but if you win 3BB/h you are +1.5BB/h.

Normal full ringgame, live, is around 30hands/h

A good SH player online - that is if you feel you are much better then most players - can beat the game by 6-7BB/h, that is about 5BB/h when rake is withdrawn.
