Message: [QUOTE="Gunner57, post: 1776734, member: 78827"] Yes I think most people can agree that they are different games and as such different skill sets help influence success and failure but there is a lot of cross over. The aggressiveness is very different, along with the stack and Bank Roll needed, and also the variance live vs online is huge. So far for me I have had a lot more success online than live. I believe the cause of this is mostly due to variance and the dollar amounts that are needed to play live. Online I actually made a nice few thousand profit last year (in 2010 about 500k hands or so) and was on my way again this year (over 300K before black Friday)... Live I have only been able to play maybe 70+hrs for a total of under 5k hands.... But my buy-in is more as online it was only $20 max, live it is $100 min. So my buy in has gone up while my ability to see hands as gone down (5K hands was done during a weekend for me online). For me Live I have had some good sessions but I had one bad week of coolers which led to tilt and am down 5 buy-ins. because of the few # of hands I see live it makes it so I have to invest more time to make up those buy-ins than I did online and I have more money available live. So I guess my point is that Live play I think there is a lot more room for variance and tilt due to your # of hands and Bank roll vs online. This is simply because of how the two games are designed. So before you go running to a casino because you have not played well online and live games are softer realize this about the different game. I generally agree that live is a softer game than online and that they put emphasis on different skillsets while having a set of common skills as well. Just feel that because of the few # of hands you see and the higher rake and higher buy-in, it is much easier to run hot or cold than it is online (compounded when you multi-table online). [/QUOTE]
