I just posted these same comments as a reply in another, getting to be boring thread. Then I thought why not start a thread with this same opinion and discuss only playing live vs online cash games. Being a firm believer of what I said, was interested in other views.
Why is it so hard for people to admit that while playing cash games online, that a overabundance of negatives come into play, which are not found while playing live. Just the speed of the game alone online, over a hundred hands per hour, lack of, if not non-existent tells other then how a player is betting for the most part, all missing while we stare at a image on our screens. Opponents that will use any and everything they could get their computer to download that will give them support, to include endless stats on opponents past play, giving the user percentages of what your opponent will most likely do every step of the way, preflop, flop, turn, river. Having flawless mathematical stats to the decimal staring you in the face reminding you of your winning percentage. Bots being used against you like the vex-bot capable of taking and storing all this information available and suggesting to the user the best course of action to take, removing all human interaction. The ruthless and endless collusion taking place online. Now throw in the high percentage of bad players that come naturally with the millions of players playing online. I just might rather take my chances in a black-jack game.
I'm not saying that some of these tools can't be exploited, but if your gonna try and tell me that while playing a cash game online, compared to sitting at a table live is the same all the way around, I will debate you to my death.
(hoping my death is not close by)
