Haha...I didn't really mean it to be passive aggressive...but reading back on it,  it sounds like it.
. In your opinion.  But in my opinion your generalizations about live poker are quite absurd.

It's funny I kind if play both sides on this topic because I have a bunch of live poker friends who talk about how soft online poker is,  and how they can always spot an online player who sits down at a live table and they eat him alive (so they claim). I can spot then too....EASY but I don't always school them, sometimes they school me.  I try to explain to my live poker friends why online us quite difficult and why they should play tiny stakes to start.  They can't be convinced either.

I think in the end we all naturally gravitate toward what we like better, or what works better for us and then we delude ourselves into believing we are beating the tougher game.  I'm quite guilty, we all have our bias and mine is obviously toward live...so I approach all of this with the mindset to "defend the honor of live poker". Because it's what I love, I want it to be respected.  I think if we're all honest with ourselves we can spot our own biases,  but I really AM trying to understand!  :)
. Haha yes!  I'm with you on this.  There is also a much bigger emotional and psychological game that happens live compared to online.  I'm not saying it doesn't happen online,  but live is a much more visceral experience.  Every hand is more intense,  more smells, looks, sighs,  pauses,  stares, dirty looks etc.  every hand you become involved in is potentially  a big social interaction, which adds another layer of pressure.
