LMAO - you're gonna freak when you finally sit down at a casino table...good times. hard to play naturally at first but over time your natural tendencies will take over. playing online IMO is an advantage because the only constant thing you have going for you is your knowledge of the players tendencies around you, and sometimes luck, so the good players get good at noticing how the other d00dz at the table are playing and what they're playing, and it becomes part of how you play, you rely on it. at the casinos there's a whole load of chit going on and it's a lot harder to focus on the small things. when i first started at the boats i was like wtf why do i keep losing? but then i kept going every weekend and got back to my normal game after getting used to a d00dz next to me looking like he was dying of aids and a d000ds to my right eating chicken wings at the table and the fat lady across from me scratchin her vag at the table. + everything else that's going on at the place.
a lot more fun tho in the long run.
Well, I went to Oklahoma once for pokerz. I did freak. Hit a boat on the river like the 5th hand vs. some drooler slowplaying trips until the very end, and couldn't stop shaking afterwards. Then like, played only elite starting hands and slowly bled away my monies. I sucked then though compared to now, but I'm sure I'd still freak. But ya most internet pokers players usually tighten up like crazy live. Live is such a diff world than online. I play 6max online, and every other raise I put in, I get 3bet. Esp at the mid-stakes, ppl are f-ing nuts. For example, (say I'm fullstacking), if you open from the cutoff, and your opponent on the button has any suited connector, random rag hand, or monster...actually pretty much any playable hand, you are going to get 3bet. Then you are out of position, and having to play a huge pot. Obv there is a reason behind it, mainly polarizing your range and taking the initiative, but thats just an example of how different it is. 6max online is just a race to see who can stack the fish. Live, its like, limp, limp, limp, raise, call, call, call, call. I guess live plays like, 5x easier at the stakes than online or whatev. Still, if you guys want to gambooooool, lmk!
