All I can say is playing live is easier and harder at the same time vs. playing online!
The way people played $1/$2 NL was exactly like $0.01/$0.02 NL (or worse)! Lots of times the whole damn table would be playing.. but anyway.. I seem to be able to read people well, I knew I could read my friends but I was able to put people on certain cards A LOT easier than I ever could online.
The only problem I have is that I have gotten so use to multi-tabling online that I found myself losing patients and playing in hands that I had no biz being in at all. The combo of this + sleepyness + carelessness + getting horrible cards/flops caused me to tilt and lose all of my money. I played for around 10 hours, turning $200 into almost $700 then losing it all due to the reasons above..
For about 2 hours I didn't hit a single high card, then I hit AKs.. flop I hit nothing.. the guy goes all in, I go all in.. He hits a straight.. 6 high.. Fml. I learned a lot about live play, and personally I feel that I'm going to quit playing online.. I never realized how much just being able to see a person can really help.
Plus, how can you get free drinks or a back massage from sexy females? The collect rake but don't give you nothin! lol. Anyone else play at hardrock in tampa fl?
