Hell Puppy, I agree with you to a certain degree........ !!
Let me put it to you this way, tonight preflop I was raised 125 chips with a guy who had EIGHT SEVEN!! Sorry had to type it out. He was in early position and honestly had no reason even CALLING this hand..
I call the raise with KT - Hit Top pair, Turn is another T ... I figure three T's - even if he had ovrpr I'm all good.. Nope... he flopped a straight T96 Flop .. Only out after turn was river which my odds of hitting that card were miniscule... If I am caluclating roperly ... 34 cds left... (not counting hole cards) 1 out with quad T's... 3 left with the K's
1:4.25 ... he was a 75% favorite.. granting all betting had been done prior to this (on the flop) but.....
How many of you would sit at a tournament in vegas and raise 125 chips preflop with 87 in early position?
You would be EMBARASSED to turn over your hole cards at the end of the hand (even if you won) if you are a true poker player.
So, in summary, yes online vs live play is completely different. Players suck out and play un realistic hands and hit..
That alone is what concerns me about the TRUE future of online internet poker.. that and that alone.
I am waiting for the day everyone entering the table is required to have a WEBCAM pointing at their face hehe.... Would make a real interesting game. ESPECIALLY AMONG ADULT WEBMASTERS !!!! hahahahaha
All webmcams aimed at dicks and tits... if they flinch, THEY ARE BLUFFING hahahah....
