Casino Pros Are Dinosaurs

[GoodTiMes]

Online I average 400 hands per hour at 3 to four tables short handed, usually heads up to four people. At a casino you play about 40 hands an hour and its hard to find a shorthanded game.
I would say playing an hour shorthanded is atleast 3x more valuable then playing an hour full handed.
So by my rudimentary calculations an hour online is about 10 x 3 = 30 more valuable then playing at a casino.

And to pile on to these numbers, the competition online is much stronger, b/c they are also gaining experience at an accelerated rate.

So, I can confidently say I would take a player who has been an online pro for a year, over a casino pro who has been playing 20 years of his life.

Thoughts?

Take them in terms of expecting them to make more, or being better players? The online player is certainly earning far more at comparable levels, but multitabling leads to more mistakes than a single live session, so if we were comparing tbe quality of poker being played I'd assume that, in general, a good live player would outperform a comparable multi-tabler at least looking at their sessions in comparison.

If the live player is a tyrannosaur, online guy doesn't stand a chance.

Not only that, but until we humans have been the dominant species on the planet for 60 million years, we will not have earned the right to use the word "dinosaur" as a pejorative.

We use excrement as a pejorative, and no matter how long we're on the planet for, excrement will still have been around longer.

Some online player are from the gigantasauros family. The tyrannosaur players are gonna run in fear from them...

Quite frankly, though, I try not to play with players whose arms are too short to reach the table and who are likely to start literally consuming their fellow players. Plus, they are likely to kncck the table over and who needs that.

These sarcastic posts are as pointless as being a casino pro unless u are playing 20/40 nl and higher...

Some of you need to visit the B&M forum more and learn about just what a tyrannosaur can do!!

Also- word to Kurn, that's a very good point.
