Message: [QUOTE="turnupthebb, post: 6864825, member: 1030136"] Everyone says live poker is easier than online poker. It's true but I think the reason is different than what others say. I think it actually takes more skill to play live poker. But if that's the case then why do they struggle when going to play online?? The reason is to become really successful online you have to become an incredibly great player because you have to play against many players who are cheating. They use bots, solvers, charts etc to tell them how to play or at least guide their decisions. So you have to be so incredibly good at poker so you can compete against cheaters and then you have to find the fish and exploit them. Or you have to become a cheater as well and use these software which aren't allowed. And most players choose to cheat, otherwise the online games wouldn't be so difficult if it just was a few cheaters. That's why live poker actually takes more skill because you don't have all these software to help you when you play live. You have to actually be a great player. Playing straightforward poker is not that easy, that's why so many players are bad at live poker and you often end up playing very deep stacked at live poker as well which is very difficult and even online that's something which isn't solved like 100bb stack size is. It's very common to have 300-600bb effective stack size live poker. That means a lot of pressure which can cause you to make wrong decisions out of fear and uncomfortability playing 500bb pots, does a tough reg really dare to make a 300bb river bluff? Will you really try to call that big bet and bluff catch? So much money! Do you even have a bankroll to play this pot? maybe you had the bankroll for buying in for 200bb but maybe not after you doubled up and now you are in a 500bb pot which is not so uncommon. That's why I prefer live poker because live poker you use your real skill against other players real skill. No softwares to help tell you what to do. And that makes it easier than online poker because live uses players real skill, not software aided skill. [/QUOTE]
