Maybe over a large enough sample of hands with infinite game selection and +EV situations, poker is a game that has a higher ROI than we experience in "live" situations. Think about it: You're forced to wait on the rail for hours, waiting for a seat to open. Then you only get to play 30 ~ 40 hands per hour, and to top it off, you got seated beside some shmuck who hasn't washed in a week. Maybe when you finally saw pocket 10's pre-flop you'd push a little too hard to try and take the pot right there. Maybe you'd try to be a hero. You know you deserve it. Maybe we feel pressured to play it differently in live games because we know how long it takes to find good situations and don't want to pass them by. Folding those 10's to a raise is a lot harder to do live than on-line when you're 4-tabling and are involved in 2 other hands at the same time. [/QUOTE]
