Hi Dave Having played online for about 3 years, but have only played Live twice, but I think I coped quite well live, yes there are more things to remember like bet sizing, postion, whats in the pot, it is there for you online, but not that much difference, I think I coped quite well.

Hi Barry,
live twice, i hope you lasted longer the first than than you did in Leeds, did you have to go home after playing half a hour with a slight head ache? Good luck in the nest tourny at least their will be no bad beat stories of your aces getting cracked.

so a tournement which has online qualification is won by an online player...
lol..
i was talking about the final...at dtd in september..
I think the transition of going from online to live can be quite difficult, especially for a serial grinders like Galfond...
I mean look at Tom Dwan, he was multi tabling live at the WSOP, played almost every event and was minus alot of monies, and i assume this was only because he gets bored of sitting at a table hardly playing any hands, which is why he is always making prop bets at the tables to keep himself entertained.
I also think Brunson summed it up in a tweet of his during the WPT Championship (i cant view the tweet now, but it was something like.....
3 days grinding for a 12k profit or something like that.
The online players can make this in one single hand
IMO Galfond could crush live, but would it be worth it long term than if he just stayed online???
the whole live tells thing is mostly just a bunch of BS. maybe in the past when nobody knew what was going on but nowadays you just dont get people sitting at tables putting Oreos to their ears.
i think offshoot was right about it just being so fing boring
In Response to Re: A poker dilemma : Duhhhhh obviously all the big winners on an online site will be online players,online is a much more accessible form of poker for most adults,and for example if you have a Live tournement that consists of qualification online,it will probably follow the winner plays online..:) but if you look at the last 3 years of SPT the winner of the final each year has been? no regs on here..

I did come 2nd almost like a win (<----- see the brag)
I've just noticed a conversation on Twitter between two of the best high-stakes pros out there, Brian Hastings and Phil Galfond. Galfond has moved to Canada to continue playing online, while Hastings suggested he's going to stay in America and try make it as a live game pro. Galfond's response staggered me. He said, 'Live is too hard, man. You won't make it.' This could all be one amazing level, but think about if he's even vaguely serious. He (one of the best online players out there) is suggesting to another top online pro that turning in to a live game specialist would be too tough. Considering the talent they have, that's insane! So, here's the question I am going to put up for discussion. Do you think you could make it if you were to ever go purely as a live game player? Which you obviously don't need to as we've got Sky Poker Posted by Sky_Dave
Beating up on a site where you can play 12 tables at a reduced br ie easier tables is a lot more economic than playing live at that one table at the full buy in.
Location Location Location. If you live in vegas or one of the other resort city's that have regular traffic coming through them then you might have a bit of a chance making it live as you have a continuous supply of money coming to the table. If your playing in a 1 bit town with a casino your probably playing the same players all the time and shuffling gthe money about to a certain extent. (To a certain extent sky is like that sort of casino esp at the likes of 25/50 6tables which should be 36 players but different players probably < 15)
If its making a living then the online version has got to be so much easier. You get up pull up the pc find a table with some donks on sit down and wait for the appropriate hands. Rinse and repeat for how many tables you feel comfortable with. Live version get up make your way to casino see who is sat at tables pick your one spot grind away for a couple of hours break have dinner etc.
