Online vs. Brick and Mortar

[RollaJ]

I was wondering what limits you play online compared to what you play at the brick and mortars. It seems most play lower limits online than they do live. Perhaps attributable to fear of collusion at higher limits, or perhaps the mindset of sitting down with $500 at stake for one session online.

[astroglide]

i play almost exclusively online, 20/40 and 15/30. local casino only offers 20/40, but i would play higher if they had it. i probably wouldn't play 30/60+ online though.

[ComeOn]

I think the main reason most people play lower online is that the competition is generally tougher online than B&M at same level.

CON - for LIVE - to MANY bad players. Heck last time I played 5 hours live and NEVER saw less then 7 people in a pot. It was like playing penny poker and I was spanked.

Plus - at 20 hands per hour zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[CORed]

You are assuming that everybody plays lower limits online than live. I play 5/10 and 10/20 online and 2-5(spread) live. That's because I live in Colorado and higher limits are not available in live games.

[fat_nutz]

Con for live games: the play is MUCH slower, and the rake is higher. I find that I tend to play weaker hole cards, which leads to poorer results, which leads to tilt, playing even weaker hole cards, ... vicious cycle. If I can get ahead early in a B&M session, I find that I am able to resist the temptation to play weak cards.

But when you compare 30 hands/hr in B&M to ~200 on 3 simultaneous online tables, with cards dealt virtually instantaneously, it's tougher to muck that A7o, especially with the weaker B&M competition.

The competition is tougher online? Have you ever played party?
Based on your comment, I would guess that you've played on Paradise.

Bullhead, based on my experience even Party is tougher overall than B&M. The only online site I've seen that's even close to B&M is Pacific and the quality of play has improved somewhat there too.

I'd guess the main reason for this is the availability online of micro limit games for the totally clueless to learn at. In B&M's the lowest limit is usually 2-4 or 3-6.
