Hey Guys,
Returning player from Sammy Farha days I have noticed online games go much faster and therefore many more hands can be seen than Live. If I play 2-5 love, what is a similar stake Online?
Also, i prefer to not play more than 1-2 tables at a time.
I agree with the gist of this post but in my experience a 10NL line up is far far easier than a live 2/5 line up. The games are more different than you may assume though. I worked my way up from one cent, two cent, or 2NL to 100NL. I'd say the 50NL level is where you can run into tables similar to 2/5. Some tables will be good and others will be tough. I've been running good at 100NL so the game seems to actually have gotten easier but maybe it's because the dollar amounts actually start to sink in more and I make less hero calls and opponents seem to respect raises more as well. I'd recommend logging a couple thousand hands of 10NL just to get used to the online game before moving up to 50 or 100NL or greater.For comparable skill level of the average player probably something as low as 10c/5c also known as 10NL. In top of that some live players find part of their skill edge from live reads or "feels", which obviously do not exist online. This forum is full of posts, which basically go something like this:
"I have been playing live poker for 10 years, and I win in my local casino, but online I always lose because of some donkey hitting his runner-runner on me, rigged, rigged, rigged!!!!"
