Re: Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?
[ QUOTE ]
ONLINE BAD Can't read players. I prefer live personally and have done better live. Thoughts and reasons why one is better than the other? [/ QUOTE ] sounds like you answered your own question. i prefer live, bc players are less fearless. its easier to bully tables when your sitting there (at lower buyins at least). Online good: hand histories. multitabling. |

Re: Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?
[ QUOTE ]
I can't multi table any tournaments. I feel blind when I can't see my opponents and their little mannerisms. I can't talk to them into revealing their hands. [/ QUOTE ] Doesn't mean it doesn't belong on the list. By that logic nothing should be on there because there isn't a single thing on there that holds universally for all players. |

Re: Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?
True that.
I just played my first live multi here about 4 weeks ago. For those that don't know, Florida's SnGs are $45 buy-in. But it's not what you think. It is $32+13. Yes that's right! I didn't stutter, and it's not a typo. With a rake like that, people still do SnGs. Some people do 4 or more a day!. Payout is $200 and $120, BTW. |

LIVE GOOD 15-30 min rounds ONLINE BAD 9-15 minute rounds [/ QUOTE ] A 10 minute round online is very close to a 20 minute round live. More importantly most live structures, especially at lower (sub $100) buy ins, are very fast many times doubling each round. Online the rounds are generally much more gradual (e.g. 10/20->15/30 instead of 10/20->20/40). To make matters worse I've seen many live tournaments start you with less than 50bb, whereas online tournaments generally start at 50-75. When it comes to structure, online wins hands down. |

Re: Live or online tournaments which is more profitable?
good point.
Personally I think my hand/player reading ability live outweighs the bads. I have played many online and live tournaments and I do far better live. I have final tabled maybe twice online ever, placed 2-3 times in the chump change, out of about probably 50 MTT tournaments. Live I have final tabled 3 times playing 15 MTT. About 5 were BULCRAP tournaments that I forgot to check the structure. 1500 chips 50/100 starting blinds. I poop on those tournaments. |

Really? The ones I play are generally $150 buy in with the house taking 20% 30 min rounds with 4000 chips. Is there better? Please inform, please do. BTW I am moving to Baltimore after my house sells here in Fort Lauderdale. AC is 3 hours away woohoo! Wife got a kickin' job that pays a lot. [/ QUOTE ] Where do you play with this structure? I haven't found anything remotely close and I thought I had tried just about every MTT locally. I'm in Davie and would love to find a structure like this - it would certainly change my feelings about live tournament structures here. |
