A few things online playing has done to help my B&M game

[SCfuji]

online has made me hate live play so much i rarely go. the only place i really play any live is vegas but that is because it is vegas.

There are people around here (aaron W, Q tip, etc) who advocate one tabling for a few hours on a regular basis in order to help you sharpen your game.

I just got back from vegas (my first trip to play poker) and I have to say that three my days of live play was a great confidence booster and a nice tune up for my online play. All of the passive little old men made for an incredibly unintimidating experience, and I really got the chance to sit down and analyze some of the plays that I made, and that were being made against me.

I know for a fact that I would not have been able to make some of the moves online that I did live, because I still havent caught up to the speed of the online game on the higher levels of thinking yet. Live, I was able to sit back, think about why they had done what they had done, and react appropriately. I feel that this has helped my online game, and I plan to continue some live one tabling locally here in the future.

I still have not been to Argosy, but I'm too tired most days after working on my dissertation to even think of going to a card room. You been yet?

I still haven't played the Argosy. I've been raping the Marksville game quite regularly. A few of us are going in 2 weeks.

I'm alot more aggressive than most, especially against loose/passive old men.

[quoteI think he meant faster than before he played online. IOW, he figures pot odds quicker at the B&M cardrooms now than he used to figure them at the B&M cardrooms. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that he figures them quicker at the B&M than online.

Correct.
