Message: [QUOTE="internetpokerdonk, post: 971226, member: 27533"] I'm still not sure that online poker should have a 33% winner rate overall. Maybe online would have more winning players, but 1/3 seems an absurd number to me. Apparantly it doesn't seem that strange to many online players. In the past year and a half I haven't played much at all. But a few years ago I played thousands of online rig n blows. I can multi table up to 8 tables comfortably, and more not so comfortably. Although I prefer to play one table because it reminds me of live play when I actually watch what people are doing. No, I would never play the same stakes online as real life. Currently, I would not put more than $20 on a sit and go online. In contrast, I play $500 or $1000 sit and goes at casinos. I used to play $50 HORSE tourneys on full tilt when my HORSE ROI was 35%. But that was right before I quit my job to play live and I haven't had the time to invest in online poker that I used to have....my wife gets pissed when I spend a week or two away from home and then I turn on online poker when I get back.:rolleyes: If you think I'm running into better players in a $20 online sng than I am at a $1000 live one, I still won't argue with that. Sometimes I am shocked at how bad someone who risks $1K live can be. But then again, I am also shocked when I see an online genius raise KJ in early position and get it all in on the flop with a single pair when he has 75 big blinds in his stack...then I look him up and his ROI is 20% or higher. That's why I don't risk money online. Strange play wins the day too often for my taste. Don't get me wrong though, I have made some money online. I just made a $500 withdrawal. I just don't make enough money so that I can stay home and play online instead of having to fly or drive to casinos to play real poker. Thanks, but it still doesn't feel right. There are many differences between online poker and live poker. I've given up thinking about whether or not it is rigged. I just make note of those differences and each time I find a new one, like this 33% winner rate thing, I remind myself that I'd rather be a winning player live that can only scrape up a few hundred here and there online than an online genius who stacks off when he plays 5/10 at the casino.
