Typo, right?

The other reason I think online players are often worse than B&M players is because they are less embarrassed. A brand new player who has never played before may be too intimidated to walk into a poker room and lose all their money while trying to learn the game, for fear of looking stupid. But in the faceless world that is the internet, it's easy.

Add in how many more hands per hour you can get in online, especially if you multi-table, and then throw in the significantly reduced rake and you can't go wrong.

I could play in a live game 7 days a week here, and once in a while I do - for both the social aspect of it and to work on reading players and looking for tells - but for the most part, it's much more profitable for me to play online.
