i definitely think my offline play is MUCH better. however, thats not to say that im not a profitable internet player. all the players who call with marginal hands are a goldmine...they can only statistically win so much.
Yeah, I agree with what you are saying. Certainly it is not difficult to detect internet players in the casino and as a rule they are worth playing against, even though they will hit lucky and put you out of a tourney from time to time.

I suppose going all in online is less pressured than in a live game. There are no opponents staring at you to analyse you and you don't physically have to move your chips in - committing the chips or the cash physically can have an effect on players. Plus if you go out of an online tourney you can get into another one immediately most of the time - a luxury which is not always available in the casino.
