Ha-ha me to man me too... I love reads online personally it makes you a stronger reader for live games... If you walk into a casino you can tell the good live players from the bad ones then you can tell the good players that play mostly online do to the fact that they don't depend on physical reads they read the boards bettor, betting patterns are easier for them to pick up on , and then they might be able to though in some physical tells... online players typically are used to not seeing faces and are used to doing mathematics quickly within 30-60seconds they make decisions... where live players typically play slower and take longer to make decisions...

It's all relative; I personally think the online games are a lot tougher to beat then live games... If you're a consistent winner at 2/4 LHE holdem I know you could beat 5/10 LHE live... It's just the skill curve live doesn't match the skill curve online... I played 4/8 live and it played 100% like 1/2 online... you really don't see much skill till you hit around 6/12 to 10/20 from what I have gathered...

Until next time get out there try the system and see if you improved your game at all, if not like I said toss it out...

P.S. I made this a Sticky because I consider this to be an important topic that could use some good discussions...
