    it is true they are two different breeds, but both are technically skilled to display their game in both scenarios.

    Having said this, online poker players tend to handle multiple poker tables at a time, while live poker players only do it with one table at a time, for this, I reckon they develop a kind of frenzy activity skills that live players dont have to cope with.

    Live players, are on my opinion stronger characters.

    Not true that online poker players can't cope with the stress or playing with people in real life. I've played both online poker and real life...mainly Texas Hold'em...And I wouldn't say that I can't cope with the stress of real life poker. Of course, it is indeed a totally different ball game. In real life, there's body language to read and you have to try to be calm yourself to not give away any reads. But other than that, it's the same as online. I would have to say that I have had more success online. I went from $0 in my Full Tilt bank account to $3,000 after winning a $500 freeroll against Howard Lederer. Then there are other occasions where I've made it up to $1000 and $300 starting at a freeroll. I would say that all this online action has made me a better player in real life...firstly, I know that I should quit while I'm ahead cuz after I got up to $3000 on full tilt from nothing, I lost it all on a bad run. also, I'm better at reading people from their betting patterns. So all in all, playing online doesn't mean your bad live. Btw I don't player poker anymore xl lol

PPA and others attempt to opposite. the numerous situation is to examine how the state can get some tax funds off of it. if you're a WA resident and play outdoors of the state you're advantageous. if you're not any more a resident and play at the same time as in WA, technically you're breaking the regulation. customarily to respond to the question, they have have not charged all and sundry for playing poker on-line less than this regulation. If someone changed into charged, it really is a legal, in spite of the indisputable fact that i believe they could get alot of help from communities like PPA to help strive against the region in court docket. i'm positive it would want to be pushed as a lot because the media and get alot of pub nationally pondering the upward thrust poker has had contained in the previous 7 years. it really is a probability, one which I soak up addition. yet i'm no longer fairly in touch that they are going to attempt to prosecute some customary participant that makes a pair of bucks playing poker on-line. have relaxing!

    Do "they" realize that the last bunch of WSOP main event champions are on-line players?

    Some are good, some aren't. You can't generalize tens of thousands of people in one shot.

    Besides, most of the live poker players aren't good live poker players
