Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1857928, member: 40397"] ^^^ This. At a given stakes, online poker is typically much more difficult to play well than live is. Live and online strategy is often quite different, and people who don't recognize that and make the adjustment seldom do well in both. So it's really hard for me to say that either one is good practice for the other -- both are unique enough that you really have to practice at both if you want to excel in both. I will say that in my experience, a solid online player will do better his first time playing live, than a good live player will do playing online for the first time. The online player might pull his hair out from boredom, mind you, but as long as he can restrain from spewing chips out of boredom, he'll do better. [/QUOTE]
