The honest truth is in a live game it's easier to read people and know there tells which is a good strategy in poker and there are a lot more conservative and read odds on the cards that could be available to them to either win the hand or bluff the other person out of the hand in a live game it's all about strategy. While players onlien u have to rely on the odds instead of the tells and most online players are retards & go all in every hand with no strategy just a hope and makes online poker unpleasant as well as most online players think they are pros cause they can go all in pretty sad and if there are any players on here that play liek that I suggest u get a poker book Doyle Brunson's I recommend and read up on the game stop thinking u are a poker god and learn to play the game right. Online I fair OK on winning my share of the money just with alot more difficulty cause I am having to play with amateurs and they go all in on anything and I am having to choose my pots well as to when I play live and here I am near Louisiana so I go out there I win a lot more and games are longer cause people actually play a lot tighter and I can read them. Well this is my thought on this topic take it for what it's worth or don't take it at all either way I don't care just learn the game before u ever try to play live in a casino know what u are doing or u will loose your shirt and wounder why. Also if any1 is wondering my play level I learned the game at 8yrs old thanks dad & started playing with family at 10 since then I have luved the game not just holdem but the original stud & draw as well as other variations like Pigow, mexican sweat etc........... so that means been playing 4 20years. Every1 gl at teh tables.
