It's funny bc the majority of online players are not fans of live play and the majority of live players are not fans of online play... generally better players at the same limits and collusion r the top two arguments given...as well as "everyone is just so tight"

I dont fully understand what you mean Zy. I assume you mean, live play is better because you genearally have easier opponents and less collusion. First part is hard to argue with, but collusion part - who knows.

I have nothing against live play, it just seems insane to me that anyone believes its more profitable for a good player to play live than online at these low-mid stakes games. There is just so many more advantages in online games than live, in terms of profitability. In general, your opponents live is going to be worse than online, but there is too many things that work against you for this to be a higher EV situation than online play.

Also if I was to play poker as a pro full time, I would seriously considering changing your schedule. If you played a million hands for each day of the week, I would bet money on Friday, Saturday, Sunday as the three biggest winning days per week. (I think for SNGs, you can see this in a graph on Sharkscope). If it's possible, I would make these days part of your work week and take say Tues+Weds day off instead.
