    Default can someone explain?

    I use the same poker strategy in live poker and win 75% - 80% of the time and take home a bank and online poker same strategy maybe .01% of the time.

    I am sure the online rooms give better odds to bigger depositers it would only be a smart business practice. they make more money and keep thier vip depositors and screw the small guys

    I play the same live as I used to online. Same results, only difference is you can look the idiots in the face when they win with something stupid. You've got to look at the volume of hands you play online compared to live. Definitely more volume online. So you experience more bad beats online.

    When you're playing live, you play far less hands than online, it's all about hands you've seen. You might win $100 in 20 hands live, and then play 200 hands online and hit one bad streak.

    People tend to remember their badbeats and weird hands, and in online poker that happens so much more then in a live game, because you play more hands which automatically leads to more badbeats in your head

    Nice regurgitation of poker site psychology. Troy quoted PERCENTAGES. Percentages are not speed dependant, they remain the same NO MATTER how fast or slow the game is played. Same thing with odds, the odds DO NOT CHANGE with speed. And to lay ANOTHER poker site myth to bed you UNLESS ALL the tables are being dealt from the SAME deck hands on OTHER tables DO NOT affect the odds on your table. So the "you have to look at the average over all tables" is a huge load opf BS!.

    Get off your island much? Your completely missing the point of my reply. Read it again then come back with some other crap.

    probably want to post a few hands including any reads you may have on opponents. If your worried about giving info away must be a way of getting a hand history on here without having names included just call them number 1 two etc. As long as all know which number hero was etc. Could be a number of reasons as it may be hard to guage any subtle changes in the way you play online as opposed to live and definately could be a reduction in the number of fishy plays made etc.
    I'm not saying that online players are all these unbeatable mega regs or anything there are plenty of spewers but I have heard that it can be very fishy in live play. Also the other things is that you may be suffering from a lack of visible reads on opponents and it is a shame that that element is left out of internet poker to a large degree, although timing tells and betting pattern history etc are still available to you.
    Also possible that you are playing a lot more hands in a bad downswing and because you are playing a lot more hands it has amplified the negative effects for you.

    Live Poker and Online Poker are two different games, you play way more hands online then you do in live games.
