I have noticed on poker forums (not just this one) that many players comment about how "live is so much easier" and "live players are so much worse" The comments along those lines are so ubiquitous that it almost seems like a poker fact. However, I really question the validity of this assumption.
My gut feeling is that this is an assumption made by players who primarily play online and when observing the inherent differences in live play, these online players categorize those differences as "weakeness" or "leaks" or sub-optimal play.
So...please cast your vote, but also please post below what you voted for, also estimate what percentage of live poker you play (We are going to use hours played online vs hours played live as the measuring stick...not # of hands or # tournaments just for simplicity sake so we are all using the same language). and then please post a few reasons WHY you voted the way you did.
1) what you voted for
2) % hours played live
3) why you voted the way you did
