Actually, it is a fact. If you are a winning player at a particular limit, online poker allows you to not only play more hands at a single table, but you have the opportunity to multi-table as well. Even if you don't multi-table, you are still saving money from tips along with the decreased rake. Using the "more-hands" logic, you would ultimately win more BB/hour.

that is pretty much true, except for those of us that keep our refreshment cash separate from our gaming cash... whereas insotherefor, it would have no bearing on our hourly rate.

Actually it still does have a bearing on your hourly rate.
As does the cost of the gas to get you to the casino. And anything else that costs you more than a penny from the time you step out the door until the time you return. Nice try though... Have to love Creative accounting.

I think the heart of poker is playing it live, but we just have too much access to it on the internet. Definatly two different games.

Personally I enjoy playing live over online. The only thing that is better in online poker is the convenience. I do seem to focus more playing online than I do in live games, probably because I know all the people I play against live while online you sit down at a table largely clueless as to how the others at the table play.

You're probably right, I'd take it more seriously vs strangers.
Is the average 3/6 B&M player betterthan the average 3/6 online player? I always thought 3/6 online would be like 5/10 irl or 10/20? The rake irl must be rougher to beat than the online yes? so winrate is reduced? Cheers, Gutzz |

Live is harder
I don't have enough experience playing at the higher limits in B&M to know about them, but I can say with some confidence that your average 3/6 B&M players is better than your average 3/6 online player. It is just easier to make stupid calls online. The rake is a good question, and probably differs by local cardroom and online casinos.

rake
most card rooms have a cap on the rake depending on where you go and you can ask for relief from the rake if your shorthanded like 4 people or less. As for the play of 3/6 in B&M I dont find it hard at all of and the players chase like hell no matter what seems like there there because they want to lose there money, and im happy to help them out!!! |

In SoCal, the live games can be a lot looser than on-line at the lower limits. I've recently been at 6-12 with half the table seeing the flop, many with trash hands. My theory is that players who hang out on the Internet tend to read and learn, and over time the online games will get tougher. A lot of the cardroom players don't like to read, so they are plateaued and may fall prey to newer players who educate themselves.
If you are going to play B&M profitably, be sure to study the collection structure since it may change the EV of certain plays, such as blind-stealing.
