There are always people willing to play any two cards at any time going all in preflop with AA and the other person calling with 54 offsuit
Online, the good players multitable heavily while the fishes play a single table. That means that even if the overall fish to reg ratio was the same, the fish to reg ratio per table is a lot worse online.
Also, the overall fish to regs ratio is a lot worse in the population that is younger than 21 years old. Young fishes don't have much money to blow, while young sharks have loads of time to spend on the game. So by cropping out that population from the live games, age limits make live games softer. With lower age limits (18) and no really good way to enforce them, online games get harder.
I'm a fish who plays 8 tables..
One guy just went all in preflop with AJ about 100BB.
fwiw, you see very good players players 5bet shove hands that are much weaker than that at 200nl+ 6max tables online. You're playing 50nl, and that's probably the nittiest stake of all. Regs start loosening up significantly when you move higher.

Poker is Poker, if anything online is easier.
Online: So much more easy to access, so many more idiots playing, so many more tournaments you can play.
This is a pretty dumb statement in OP imo.
a little off the subject but i heard this on a movie
"you know how the internet screwed poker up? When somebody sucks out real bad on you on the river, on the internet, you can't take them in the parking lot and break their freakin knees!"
hilarious
Im not joking im talking from personal opinion, and imho, i find online poker easier than live, imo it just seems worse online bcause you get so much more volume in.Its not

You can't beat sitting at the table and fondling your chips while talking to the babe across from you with the "plunging neckline"... if you know what I mean! Far more interesting than clicking the mouse... IMO

Swings are bigger, fields are bigger etc etc.
