I generally like poker but have zero faith in the on-line play. I have had on my "to-do" list for months dumping a few hundred bucks in to try it out and I cant even make myself do that.
i have to agree here. i dont buy the line that "so many hands are played online that youre going to see a great # of huge hands, simply because of the large sample size". while that may be mathematically true, its still nonsense because you can sit down and play for an hour online at poker stars or bodog or wherever and youll be up against nut-flush after nut-flush after nut-flush ........ and then youll go play live at a casino and not see anyone show down a winning flush during 4 or 5 hours or play.
and the number of times KK is up against AA is downright stupid online.
i love playing poker but i could never play for more than shits and giggles online because of the crazy shit that happens.

i agree, but i live right by the grand casino where poker is legal along with 22...i hate the game 22 by the way..anyway, i take my happy butt down there to play...i don't trust online crap...like you said the unexpected soon becomes the expected

Dealer: doochuk has a flush, Ace high
Dealer: lutmur1 has a full house, Nines full of Threes
Dealer: Game #2454712361: lutmur1 wins pot (745) with a full house, Nines full of Threes

i have seen a lot of live poker also Count but this is really weird the stuff that happens...regardless i should have trusted my gut instincts about playing on line....Live you see everything right before your eye's---you can't say that about on line...who really truly know's-- it is software so anything can be programed...glad to hear you have won tho
doochuk,
there really is a different type of play online from live, live is alot loosier to me. but there is plenty of tells online believe it or not. becareful playing high stakes cash cause i am hearing a lot about bots here lately, which scares me, since i play alot of 15/30. but tourney play wouldn't worry about that chit.

I would agree. I have just come to the conclusion that people are less likely to bet the real chips they have in front of them in person than they are with the virtual chips they have online.

As for Doochuck, it takes a long long time to adjust to online play. I do it for a living. Used to play live for living, but four years ago started playing online and reaped the benefits.
It is a different animal, but if you were successful live you will be able to adjust. Yes the games are faster and it can seem like the beats pile up.
Do yourself a favor and get pokertracker. Look through your hands and analyze your sessions. Take notes on people and put them on your buddy list Look for leaks in your game. The biggest problem people have with online is game selection. There are thousands of people making a living 8 tabling online. Not every game is good. Don't always go for the tables with biggest money percentage. Go for games with highest people seeing flop. Lots of looseys in those.
When I first started, I was convinced it was rigged. Still even have some doubts, but I know its not. Seriously, just put your chips in with the best of it or when you are mathematically inclined too, and in the long run you will win if you are a winning player. Random variance and speed of game cause players to believe they are being rigged or cheated when in fact they are just running bad. If you consistently play well, you will win in the long run. You can play break even poker or even losing poker for months at a time, but over the course of time you will win. It's just standard deviation catching you on the wrong side of it.
Also, if you don't like it don't play. No knock on you at all. I have no idea if you are a winning player or not, but if you say you are then I'll take your word for it. Theres nothing wrong with playing live. I just prefer online because I can four or eight table, wear boxers and a wifebeater all day, cap sports, and talk to you knuckleheads.
