Default Re: Playing online - for the birds???

I hear you!
The only difference for me is that i cant win at my B&M cardroom.
Once a month i decide to crawl out of my lazyboy in front of my computer and go play some LIVE poker,its a 2 hour drive to port perry to go play at the great blue heron casino.
Now i dont want to accuse them of suspicious play because i dont have any proof,but im almost positive a couple of those players up there are BOTS!They dont talk and they always win,not to mention the one has a twitch(they dont maintain them very well,must be a short circuit)


All kidding aside to those of you that doubt the authenticity of the main online cardrooms ,YOU should come watch me play LIVE poker(i'm famous for my bad beats)
When i do venture up to port perry Im always asked
"where u been ?"and when i tell them im playing online these days,i always get the"Ive played but i dont trust it"
"there always setting u up","the things that happen online dont happen in real life"
So i say to those of u that say things that happen to u online dont happen in real life,i say be happy because those runs DO happen in a live game (to some of us more than others)
In three years of playing online probably six hours a day
i have only lost on quads once,last month at port perry i lost on quads twice in about a total of 30 hours play.
Thems the breaks!
If you are losing consistently online over a long period of time,at a reputable cardroom,you are simply being outplayed.
Many players who are winning players at B&M cardrooms(esp.the tight solid players)think that they know how to play the game perfect and anybody who dosent play that way must be an inferior player so they cannot reconize when a player is better than them,Therefore cannot take there game to next level.
When i started playing online i too thought i was a great player(mainly because i was a consisent winner at the B&M cardrooms even with my bad beats)but after getting pounded by the "pigeons" day after day i realized that some of these players were awesome players.
So after a while i opened my mind and learned alot from these "pigeons"
Life has been great since
Instead of blaming your run of cards or the cardroom itself,take that energy and oppurtunity to improve your game.
The future top players in the world will be "online players"
because the competiton is stonger therefore forcing the determined to play better than any B&m group of players!
