heres a question for you then. i know it may seem trivial, but i've never really known a solid answer. what aspects of your game change from online to live? as stated above, i am pretty bad at live games. i am never a consistent winner, and allways seem to miss my opportunities to make money. yet on empire, im a pretty consistent winner. what are some pointers for changing my game up for live games?

dunno if "you" is the plural "you," or addressing "me" individually, but -

Even when I played alot of 6max I literally never changed gears. Ever. Sure, alot of individual plays would change based on opponents and their proven tendencies, but I have the same tight in the front (pokher in the back! haha.) loose in the back etc etc etc

Live, maybe becaus I feel I can get a better feel for the table, I will shift from tight to loose to tight to loose. And back again.

I think. I could just be hopeful.

heres another trivial question then. what exactly defines playing looser. does that mean im calling raises with mediocre hands(q10, j10, kj, etc), and fishing more?

Whatever mode im playing Im rarely ever callign a raise with those aforementioned hands. And whether Im loose or tight mode I wont draw if I dont deem it pos EV.

Ok, latest example: I was playing 1-2 live game, and it was shorthanded. (very unusual for low stakes live, it was actually my only experience in a non home game where it was 6 handed) and I raised like 4 hands in a row-K9s utg, KTo, A9s, and 97o (on the button) I was feeling loose.

Thats not my norm by any means
