live 1/2nl live isn't>>>>50nl in terms of hourly like a lot of people tend to think. i've prolly put in like 50 hours of 1/2nl in the past six months which works out to a whole big whopping 1.5k hands or something retarded like that.

also 1/2nl live is certainly softer than even like 25nl 6m online, but not NEARLY as softer as online players tend to think. obviously, no one ever ever ever knows how to play preflop at live games, whereas that's prolly an online player's most solid facet, but live regs are far less liekly to pay you off with single paired hands, quite a bit more likely to put pressure on with aggression with hands that have decent equity, more likely to spot the difference between a weak range and a strong range, able to pick up on tells, etc.

that being said, this is when comparing to like 5 stakes below on online, and these "regs" make up a much smaller portion of the population, and once again they have really really bad leaks preflop, including not giving the value of position enough respect.

i don't know which fish are worse (online or live), but live ones are harder to exploit because they fold a lot more
