There are plenty of terrible players online. This is because at least 99% of all poker players are terrible.

Also, most competent live players have put in tons of hands online.

I'm about 99% certain that I play more hours of live poker than anyone on this site. But I probably don't get more than 25,000 hands a year, which is a slow month for an online grinder. A serious grinder can easily get in more hands in a year than Doyle Brunson has played in his lifetime.

Add on to that the long hours of study, review and reading that goes on away from the tables, and the level of experience and understanding is not within the same stratosphere.
 
No one would think that a pre-med student could treat them better than a specialist with 20 years of experience, but the comparison is roughly the same.

You can use a similar analogy in any other field....there are tons of people shootings hoops in the gym or in their driveway, but none of them think they can compete with Kevin Durant and LeBron.

But that's why poker is great. People actually think they can take their hard-earned money and sit at a table and win money against people who are vastly better than them. They don't even know what they don't even know.
