Actually I'm sure there are more than a couple... more like a COUPLE HUNDRED that is.
Take the WSOP Player of the Year for example.
This year battling in contention for Player of the Year ... currently sitting in 2nd place is Shaun Deeb. In 2018 he won Player of the Year.
In 2016 there were two very prominent online MTT regulars in the Top 5 - - Paul Volpe in 2nd, & James Obst in 4th
In 2017, half of the Top 10 in standings for WSOP Player of the Year award were prominent online MTT regulars, including the likes of Mike Leah in 4th (goleafsgoeh), Kenny Hallaert in 6th (SpaceyFCB), & Alex Foxen in 7th.
Your comment here regarding online players shows how far out of touch you actually are.
Why not embrace variance? And why not give online poker a good try and go and beat those inexperienced online players?
I never played live but I am 100% we are talking about two different sports. Reading all those non verbal stuff, reacting to the atmosphere etc. etc. I think you just should not compare the two.
This raises a question: who is an "online player" and who is a "real life player"? The first time I play in real life do I become a "real life player"? And does some one become an "online player" when he/she plays online for the first time? I think these definitions are very loose.. and I am not sure they even should exist.
I wonder if I'd do well in real tables since I suck in online poker
