Having been successful online first and then in Live tournaments, what would say are the biggest differences between the two?
I think when I switched between online and offline, online tourneys were different (easier) than they are now. Having said that I think the ECOOP last week was my biggest ever online result so it's not like it's changed tooooo much. The biggest difference is definitely the preflop aggression online, esp on the American sites. At first I found concentration an issue offline, as when I play online I’m generally on a laptop curled up on a sofa watching Sky Sports, but I soon got used to that. The more I played live, the more I started to pick up on physical things that other players do, although I still find it hard to put 100% faith in these reads. Do you find it easy to spot an 'internet' player at a live table and how would you approach them?
Yeah, they’re the ones with ipods, baseball caps and look young enough to be my son. All sorts of things give away internet players, they’re inability to handle chips and cards, messy stacking of chips (Moorman lol) and generally their lack of comfort. I felt the need to wear shades when I first played live, as much for comfort of staring at others as to averting their gaze. You find a lot more physical tells on these players….I spotted a tell on you in that mammoth heads-up against Jeff Duvall which I pointed out to Trigg and seemed right every time we got to see you cards hehe. I’ll tell ya next time we meet up. Barny Boatman reckons we all have loads of tells and the only way to rectify them is watch yourself on TV. I watch myself and can’t spot anything, apart from that I’ve always got it ) sigh, ill stop eating oreo's while im playing.....
