I had to edit my post after I saw this idiotic post of his

I do not like internet poker.

I went through a period where I was playing it alot and not winning. Then I noticed when I got back into the local casino, my game had gotten all %$#@! up. I was playing so scared and passive, with a subconscious expectation to lose. I have since realized that playing internet poker is detrimental to my game not because it is rigged, but because:

1) I have yet to be convinced of its integrity
2) Having not yet been convinced of its integrity, I play low limit games as a way of protecting myself from large losses
3) Hence I am playing games with no positive expectation or win rate
4) Unable to win, my game is changing into an extremely tight, passive style in order to minimize deviation and minimize loss.
5) When I get back into the B&M casino games and start playing for real money, this strategy turns me into a loser.

The changes in my game happened over a long period of time, and only now am I beginning to notice how weak tight and scared my game has become.

So my recommendation to myself is: if you're not willing to play online poker for decent stakes, i.e. games where there is a good chance to make an hourly win rate, dont play at all. The many hours of wasted time breaking even in $.50/$1 games will make your game weaker, stagnant, and weak tight, and soon you'll find live games you used to be able to easily beat become extremely difficult.
