Live vrs Online can there really be that big a difference?

Want some thought from everyone on what they think about....

Is it possible to be a good (or lucky) player live and make money yet play online and anything bad that can happen always does? and not have a chance online except for small cashes?

I ask cause i make money(consistently) live playing but online every time in a "big hand" the worst hand wins 8 of 10 times. Yet live i just dont see it that often( 8 of 10). 2 and 3 outers and gutshots seem to be the NUTZ against me online and live it rarely happens.

So can it be the variance between the 2 or can some people just be that unlucky online vrs live or even vice versa for some?

Now im not implying online is rigged as i would love to believe its not. Is it really that people online play like its video poker vrs live and thats just the way cards fall and if so then why dont they fall like that live? to around the same percentage?

I know i cant be the only one who thinks this way so im looking for insight into what it might be, be it variance or whatever..

Yeah, live is way different from online. Live you have to be there in person and have to play for real in front of other people. So if your nervous, then your not goin to do so well. But online, its just a click away. Online can be played by everybody, but there are more donkeys there then live. But in the end your still gambling with money and still playing poker, so if you know u play good, you will eventually win.

well i have had my worst bad beat in a live game... i floped set turned boat....... other 2 guys had 2 pair qqs and 22s the river came last q in the deck i lost to a 1 outer on the river... that was a live game.....was a 1dollar 2 dollar anit cash game... hand was for over 1200 dollars... that's a bad beat....

yeah i took a bad one flopped a set turnd a full and lost to a royal flush before Live but my luck online is just plain BAD. I can see it happening before it does, almost like im wishing it on if ya know what i mean LOL And because of it i expect to lose when im a favorite online and usually do. Is it because i know it coming or expect it? Does attitude affect cards coming? realistically i dont think that can happen but sure semms like it

All i can say is, just consider how many hands you can play online verus live in the same amount of time.

On live poker you have a lot of tells of others players so read them is a lot easier while in online poker it's very hard to do that. Also, the number of hands played online is huge and that's why people think that in online poker have more bad beats.

Live vs online requires different skill sets. Kinda like how limit holdem differs from no limit holdem. Or how cash games differ from tourney games. Success in one form does not necessarily = success in the other form.

Its a whole different game

I started online but then played 3 years for a living in Vegas and it is a very different game

i prefer live overall but i like online for convenience sometimes..

The only difference I think is there is more hands.

I've played live only with friends, never in a casino, and i'm a little scared to go cos i am obsessed that everyone at the table will know what cards i have just looking in my eyes:))). Facial expressions is crucial in live poker so i prefer to sit in front of my computer and play, I'm more confortable this way. Some day i will go, I want to try live experience but...it's not the time for that yet:)

Online poker ( NLHE , PLO ......... ) is faster than live poker....but the last one is more social and sometimes more exiting too

ahahah)))))

Thanks all have seen some good feedback. i guess im missing something to become pretty decent at online. Maybe ill figure it out some day LOL

playing live is a way better indicator of how much skill someone has. online, if you prove yourself over time can tell someones ability to play the game. but live there are more elements to incorporate such as the psychology of the game.

I think all big Pokersites are hacked. Look at Internet, there are many Programms to use....

for me is not the same play in live online if you can play there are more chances of winning live online

Live is very different from online. In Live play people see you oppose to online play. It's more pressure to play live poker.

What is "live online"? Is it like the Matrix?

I've never played poker live yet... but I hope that it will be very interesting...

yeah id much rather play LIVE at least live you can call someone a DUMAZZ and hope they jump up.... But really im a very nice live player but I get soo frustrated online that i let my fingers go nuts on em LOL

I prefer live over online as I do better. Its easier to walkaway live and its much slower. Online is like crack, it never stops and u can get a little crazy.

Just played a live tournament today..was fun..but reminded me why i miss online :(

i think live is a lot easier because you can actually read people better but online is harder because less reading is involved

also you cant tell if someones bluffing just by their bets because you cant tell face expressions it would be nice to see the person your playing

Yeah probably easier to read people playing Live POker
