Oh - and the standard of live play is usually far worse than that you see online.  That"s at the low levels I play anyway.

HannibleL316:
Are you serious about that its worse live than online? That has shocked me! Lol

Yeh I know what you mean about wanting weak players at the table but its horrible not knowing where you stand, and you know more when your playing good players.
Its personal preference I suppose, but I actually prefer playing good players. I enjoy it more.

On Saturday I saw somone raise 4 times the BB from 3rd position, the person in 4th position called and so did the BB.
The flop came 3 9 J. The orignal raiser bet half the pot, the person in 4th position called, and the BB folded. Turn came 3. Original raiser again bet, it was approx half the pot again. Other person called. River was a 4 or 5, (Blank anyway for both players). Original raiser bet nearly the pot now and the person in 4th position called again.
The original raiser showed pocket Kings. The person in 4th person who called the pre flop raise remember showed down 93 offsuit. I mean that is a prime example of not knowing where you stand. And plus he didnt even re-raise on the river either.

kinboshi:
Absolutely serious.  Far better players online than live in many cases at the lower level games. 

There are a fair amount of donkeys as well (both live and online), but overall the standard online is higher.

As for wanting to play good players - I think you more likely mean you like to play players who play a certain way.  Playing against a loose-aggressive decent player who"s raising up lots of pots can be a very hard game to play. 

I"d rather play a table of people who "think" they can play well - when in fact, they are very easy to read and put on a hand.  Predictable is good.

No I dont mind playing against loose-aggressive decent players, its harder playing against loose-aggressive weak players.
Just weak mainiac players in general and thats what I found the majority was at that casino last Saturday.

Theres a £30 F/O at China Palace Circus casino in Birmingham. Opposite the arcardian, decent players mixed with some poor ones. Parking in the Arcadian.
