Default Re: HOurly win rate live vs. online win rate question

I believe (and my advice is untainted by experience [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]) that you would find better players if you played online at the same limits. My response is pretty much based on economic theory. If all things being equal, online poker was more profitable than live poker, then people would switch to online poker until it was no longer more profitable. The exception would be if there was some barrier to entering the online poker market. As far as I can tell, there is no barrier except for poker skills, which are also required for live games. The result of this is that although you would make more big bets per hour, you would have to play at smaller stakes and it would pretty much even out.
