Message: [QUOTE="SloPowers, post: 2520653, member: 114241"] Live play is much slower than online - you will see far fewer hands per hour live. You need a lot of patience and control... I try to play every hand the same as far as tempo and even speech... so much can be picked up live from the way you handle your chips & cards to the way you say 'raise'. I personally prefer live play as I tend to focus more on task at hand. In online play, I'm getting up for a drink, or surfing the web at the same time or I will open a table when I'm tired - just because I can! Playing live is like going to work... you have a job to do and so you get on with it, hopefully without distraction. [/QUOTE]
