Maybe someone can help me out here. I have been playing live tournaments the past year or so and have cashed a number of times but online i have been playing tournaments and there not even real tournaments therethe 5 min blind 2000 starting stack and 1000 people fields sometimes and in the past month ive cashed in probably more that 50% of the ones ive played in that. Now why is that a tournment with shorter stack, shorter levels im doing better than a real structure.

I posted something similar to this in a post named tournament poker and placing question.
I play a ton of live poker and online poker.
I think the reason for this happening is the same as it was for me.
First you are playing lower buy in ,that in turn equals more tournaments played, if I calculated all the tournaments I have won online verse how many I have won live ,online would far outweigh live cashes.
And although I have cashed alot more online,I probably have made more money on one live cash than all of my online tournaments combined.

I find it logical that I win and cash out more on live tournaments vs online tournaments. I think its because in live I can read people better than online poker even if villian is familiar to me its still uber hard for me to read them in online poker. I also tend to play way more agressive online than live. Familairity with the villian helps me with live tournament as well because the tournaments I play in Atlantic City I see the same players about 50-60%! Poker tells really helps alot!

Yea I talked to my friend about this and that was his explanation was that i play more tournaments online but even still if i look over a span of 30 live and 30 online i believe i have cashed more online. That also being said per buyin amount i have won more per cash in live with less people than a larger field online. For example a 10$ buyin online with 700 people come in 45th and cash 35$ but a 90$ cash live for 5th with 50 people would get around 300.
