Message: [QUOTE="gamedemon, post: 654200, member: 19440"] Playing online definitely makes you a better player. The more experience with different hands and different situations will always improve your play. As wth anything though, it makes you better when you take the time to study leaks in your game or, once offline, sit back and think about a few hands that you lost and perhaps why you lost them (beyond the obvious suckouts). Was there a hand where you checked when you should have raised, etc.... I also like online in that I encounter many different player styles - super tight, super aggressive, stop-and-go players, etc... You can't get that playing the same guys/gals at your weekly home game. Only caution about online is I found myself getting lazy about calculating the pot size in my head. It is always right in front of me online. WHen I went back to playing live tourneys, I had to mentally adjust myself to get back to being able to do this naturally in a live game. [/QUOTE]
