I would like to know what everyone thinks about online poker vs. live poker, and in general are they two different games almost like limit vs. no-limit.
I grew up in live cash games, then moved to online cash games and tourneys, and now I play both. But I have realized I have to take two completely different styles into the games to be profitable.
Let me know if you guys agree or disagree. Thanks |
I agree with you 100%, they are different.I also think playing online is bad for your live play.
I think online, people play alot more aggressively & play virtually any hand .
Playing in freerolls is the worst type of poker you can get ,because its free & the rewards aren't that good, you find people will play hands that normally, they would throw away as soon as possible.
What I've found playing freerolls is, that the old saying( if can't beat em join em) applies 100%.Even playing in MTT or sit"n"go's which costs up to $10 to play i think people play to much crap & are over aggressive.
When you play live you can 99% of the time pick the online players(especially the freerollers)because their first & most times their last, thought is to raise/reraise(with any cards, in any situation)
I'm the first to admit that I'm alot more of an aggressive player online than i am playing live,I also play cards when online that i wouldn't dream of playing live(IE K-5 or J-7 etc)(unless in the blinds) & i think the main reason for that is that when you're online you're anonymous & when your live you don't want people to think/call you a donkey/monkey whatever.
