After spending hundreds of hours in both online casinos and live casinos, there are lots of differences between the 2 despite playing the exact same game. Here are some of the nuances I have noticed.
Online players are a lot easier stronger stake for stake
Normally the minimal live game you’ll find in a casino is $1/$2 ($200NL). This is where all of the beginners start. Online, the normal games may be as small as $0.01/$0.02 ($2NL) where there is not much cash to be made. That suggests beginners in live casinos are playing for way bigger stakes than online. Online Players playing $200NL are generally very strong.
Live low-stakes players generally do not have a clue
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been talking to live players speak about how online players do not know what they’re doing. They will say aspects such as “you can’t Read Uas his face” or “online players don’t understand how to bluff and keep a straight face” – stupidness, really. Many live players don’t understand the concept of frequencies and betting patterns, which in fact are much more informative than “his lip twitched when he reached for his chips” or whatever
Raising 3x the bb preflop will not do anything
Many live players do not consider big blinds, they only consider chips. What I mean by that’s if one example is at a $1/$2 game, somebody raises $6, many players will think “oh that’s just 1 red chip” instead of thinking about 3 big blinds. For anyone who is going to come in for a raise in a live game, you will probably want to raise between 6-8bb, at least within the $200NL live game.
Very little 3betting in live games
Most players in a live setting are way more content to just call a raise as oppose to 3bet, even with big hands like AQ and AK – and it is certainly not for balance. Quite often, if you are 3bet in a live game, the player will probably have QQ+ (weak players)
Live players think pocket pairs are the nuts.
In a live game, players have a very hard time folding pocket pairs preflop for some reason. I’ve 3bet with hands like AQ+ and can’t tell you how many times I have been called by 22-77. Lots of dead money within this spot.
