Default Re: Translating online success to B&M\'s

I play both online and live, and I agree with the other posters about the relative softness...you should crush this game. From my own experience, however, I'd add a couple of cautions...

Stay very aware that the pace of the live game will be much slower...you're going to see a fraction of the number of hands per hour compared to online. Especially if you multi-table. I am currently 4-tabling, so I see something like 180-220 hands per hour online. This is analagous to about 6-7 hours of live play. So what does that mean...it means you can play very well, and still be much more likely to lose in a given session, due to a run of folding lousy cards for 2 hours, or a couple of bad beats, etc. This is pretty easy to shake off when playing online, because you're seeing so many more hands. But at the live table, you have to be much more careful to guard against boredom and frustration, or before you know it, you're playing the same crap the fish are, and then continuing postflop with it.
