I think you are being too general.

The game I play the most in is a spread limit game with a max bet of 150 and a minimum of 2 or 5. The game can and often does result in some pretty deep stacks in comparison to the minimum bet aka the BB. It is not uncommon to see stacks that are >200BB deep.

I have played with people that did not know the hand ranks all the way to WSOP braclet winners in this game and every level in between.

IME the real difference is in the number of weak/bad players at a table.

Online I expect to only see 1-3 fish at a table, they are taking a shot at a higher limit, are on tilt, or just do not understand the stakes, i.e. they deposit $500 and then go sit a $400NL game.

Live most nights I expect to see at least 50% or more of the table be weak/bad.
