Because live poker is such a slow-paced game, players often widen their ranges to the point where they play almost half of their
hands and rarely pay attention to position.Live poker players may aggressively put most of their stack into the pot, but that doesn't mean they'll go all the way. Folds that would be unthinkable online are common. This stems from a poor understanding of the concept of pot
odds.At live tables, you'll most often be playing against people, not their cards. While 40-50 hands of
online poker might be enough to evaluate your opponent based on some basic parameters that don't require a large sample size, in a live game you simply don't have that opportunity, as you'll be playing that many hands for two hours, if not more. Therefore, you need to seek out additional information from any source.
