I do however agree with his statement "Online poker players are the worst poker players in the history of mankind."

The consensus here is that online in tougher than B&M. Ex, 5/10 party is like 20/40 B&M. I only play online, what makes you believe this?

Opinions like these are all subjective to one's personal experience. Factors like where you live, what limits you play etc.. It's my perception and an opinion only but apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this. I know the concensus is that online is tougher and the reasons for it are valid. I play both online and live and you'll find truly horrible players everywhere.

I have seen some of the worst plays I've ever seen pulled off online, some of them will just blow your mind. This doesn't happen just to the lower limits but on some of the higher limit tables as well which is even more mindboggling.
I have a theory as to why this is though I'm not sure how accurate that is. I feel that a lot of the players playing online on a whole are younger and a bit more tech savy. When you have younger players who haven't got too much experience with a lot of disposable income, they become more laggish and probably more aggressive. I could be way off base here, but it's just my general opinion that online players are godawful.
