Re: live or online
Online weeknights. B&M weekends and toss Thursday night into the weekends.
Hours? 50/50 Hands? Online wins. And it's not close. Onaflag......... |

Re: live or online
I believe to maximize one's exposure to the game and gain valuable experience, there should be a healthy mix of the two. In most cases, the level you play at B&M is much higher than online. For example, if you were a bonus whore at .50/1 and played 3/6 live, would that not be about the same as 4 tabling online? It is six times the level with a slower rate of deal and you would see more people to a flop there than you do online in many cases.
So, sure, it's slower, but a heck of a lot more fun than grinding your way through poker life exclusively online. I like having two seperate BRs. One in Neteller and one in my underwear drawer. Onaflag.............. |

Just don't lie to yourself about benefits. I don't see any positives financially in live play unless you are able to beat a limit higher than avaialble online. |

Re: live or online
There's no way I can play live and get paid $20,000 per year just for playing, on top of my poker winnings.

Open up PokerTracker - Ring Game Player Statistics. Then click the Game Notes Tab - Get All. Then sort by BB. Did you make it that far? Good. Now tell me how many 16 BB pots you have won. If you have a significant amount of data, I bet the number of pots over 12 BB are very rare. Where I regularly play, 12 BB pots are the norm and >16 BB pots happen every couple hours, sometimes more frequently. Now, I'm not saying that every B&M is the same, because they differ according to day of the week, time of day/night and table/game selection is very important. I am sick of one-trick-ponies like yourself blaming the rake and tip on decreased winnings at B&Ms. Per pot, it is barely a friggin BB. Is there a difference? Yes. Of course. But that difference does not outweigh the larger pot sizes and looser, more inexperienced players.

That's fine. There is nothing wrong with that. Just don't lie to yourself and others about a subject you know nothing about. I will say it again. I belive a mixture of both types of play is healthy for the aspiring poker player. That is all I tried to say in the first place. Onaflag............. |

Re: live or online
If I could even take the bus to a huge casino in my city I would go and play live, but I can't so I have to pay 10 to 15 every time I want to drive to a casino near my city. I also could have to wait a up to 4 hours for a table. Play a higher raked game that while easier is way more aggravating. It's an easy choice for me........ [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
