I've not had anywhere near as much experience playing live as online, but enough to see the average player pool being worse than online by a mile.

Like, when you compare buy-ins etc it's just so different in terms of skill. Example; online my average stake for tournaments is probarbly $10-$20 which is like £10-£15.

Live, my average stake are between £30-£100 tournament buy-ins and average field size being 30-40 players. I'd say at best, 5 players in the whole field are competent but not necessarily "great" or even "good", just not really terrible players  , whilst the rest are just plain terrible. Now if we compared playing those stakes and field sizes online, I'd expect the field to be way tougher by a long mile.

The same goes for cash, I've played some cash recently at casinos, limit being £1/2. Basically $2/4 and at a full table, I felt I had a really good edge. There was one player who seemed good, but the other 8 was really bad, like 5nl online at best standards. 10nl players online could easily beat them. I know for a fact if I sat at $2/4 online I'd be the dog at the time, or at least one of the worse even on a "good" table.

A $5 tournament games are tougher than a £50 tournament live etc etc.

I can't imagine anyone saying that live is harder, or both being equal just different games. Sure you have to play completely different, but a basic solid approach is enough to crush live games at what would be classed as mid/high stakes online where that approach just won't work.
