If you play a lot of live poker (which I do)... you'd believe Sharpy's HH here 100% (which I do).
The Eeyores that play @ casinos is staggering.
I remember a thread over a year ago by SBR poster bettilimbroke where he was whining about how you can't make any money in live casino 1/2, (~2/5) games b/c the pots were consistently like 30-40 bucks and with rake it was pointless.
All I could think at the time was: "Where the hell is this guy playing? His buddy's garage?"
Because if you actually play at a real casino, you'd know it wasn't unusual to have rather large pots at even 1/2 NL (let alone 2/5 and up).
Online players (as a general rule) are so much better players than casino donks it'd make your head spin.
(Not unusual at all to buy in for ~200 @ 1/2 and become a thousandaire in a few hours)
