I agree with you. For a long time I played live cash, at low stakes, and very often I met opponents who came just to part with money. I waited for the right moment and won a good amount of money. There were days when my opponents had luck, but it was very rare, more often my experience was much stronger than the luck of my opponents. All you say is real.
Live poker can be an easy game but that all depends on the player pool and there's also the fact that ranges and variance can be wider with people generally playing more hands as the pace is limited to around 30 hands/hr. This can make being card dead or sucked out on considerably harder to deal with
It depends on the games that the poker room offers.
The one that I played on had a turbo approach to their daily tournament which I didn't like, also a cash game where you could buy in for 40bbs and that was the norm.
But I agree that the field is way softer live.

I'd say if you think live poker is easy I wouldn't let anyone find out about the game your playing in. I've seen games that started super soft get swarmed with sharks after a few months because the one or two "good" players told their friends what easy money it was. Keep that info close to the vest and good luck.
You are what I call a bum Hunter. You have no clue what serious live tournament play is like against pros and semi pros all trying to make a name .dedkndy said:
If you do know what it's like please correct me however, playing a local 1k gauranteed isn't the same as playing a 600k gauranteed or 150k ECT. Which is mid stakes compared to the likes of Negranau ECT.
The higher the buy in and prizes, the better the play. You are scraping the bottom of the barrel man. Up your competition, up your game.
