Online poker is more difficult than live poker

But I had a couple of stories in a live tournament.
First, within just a few hands, I hit a straight and my opponent hit a royal flush, and I lost most of my stack. I also had a flush situation: I had a king and my opponent hid an ace. Before that, I thought that in real life, such trash as online rarely happens, or maybe I was just lucky.

but there were also positive moments, firstly I noticed that each dealer deals you hands differently, there were dealers who dealt me excellent hands and on the contrary there was one dealer from whom I simply didn’t get anything. I also noticed that one of the dealers was often dealt certain cards, and I decided to try to open some really weak hands and immediately got a straight from the flop.

Although similar things can be noticed in online poker, for example, you can notice how often a quad or triple appears within half an hour, what cards appear more often and take advantage of these moments, it does not always work, but it happens

Yes, live poker is easier because casinos attract "fish" and weak players.

Some people said is more rigged online, but is more safe to play.

Yes, I believe online poker is generally more difficult than live poker.


Online players see far more hands, use tracking tools, study more, and gain experience much faster.
The pace is also much quicker, so mistakes can be costly and repeated often.
In live poker, many games still have more recreational players, and you can gain additional information from physical tells and table dynamics.

That said, online is great for improving quickly, while live poker is often softer and can be more profitable for many players. ♠️
