ive struggled with this as well.. but have recently found success.
read,spindle,etc...
#1 - you see a lot of hands fast online vs. online. vs. dude successful at home tourny. vs. dufess(es).
#2 - in ring games, the number of players at the table does not necessarily decrease - so the value of starting hands is relatively constant. in passive / agressive "gear" this works weakly. big difference between tournies.
#3 - the number of people chasing pre-flop to the river everytime.... playing trash. i ran numbers on 11-2 person simulations of everyone holding a hand. AA vs. 10 other random hands is less than 30%. talk to 'Gus Hansen'.
#3.1 IF its uncomfortable
GOTO #1.
#4 - let them do the betting, if you're confident in your hand. nothing says anything better than giving a "betting" rope long enough to hang them "betting" elves(s) with. and play begins again.
I think speakeasy nailed it on the head with the "Schooling Effect" here:
http://chiptalk.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13320 i think the problem is limit online games.... they're so in your face - yet they're not. good UI design? everyone else thinks so.
- compentant home game players / online tourny player vs. online ring game <$5.
- starting hands vs # of opps pre-flop is the difference.
- if you're going to play online - MAX buy-in online - other people dont realize its a commitment for real money online. CC/fax to china/etc/ vs. your bankroll.
I've found liberation online with $1/$2 NL ring games.
- its reasonably juicy.
- freedom to bet.... >smile< someone out of a hand. actually represent a P/A attitude.
- switch sites. i find i tighten-up at a new site? bonus horh'ing(w) works as well - if there's a 40% bonus up to $200 - you might want to play that.
personally, i prefer to take money from people face to face vs. online. in case there's a poll. im in vegas all next week....... & need more negative ratings...
