By stacking off I was refering to TP's recent run with some really fishy all-in calls that he has been getting. However, when I was able to play live I play a weird style of NL but the buyin was $350 and I was simply able to push people around more. My reads affected a lot of my play and I made more money live then I did online at the time; however, I really sucked then. If I was able to find a game around where I am now that was 1/2NL or above I would be very happy and prefer it to online. Have you ever played with married/single dudes above 30 who make plenty of money? Drunk guys with wads of 100s? Edgerrin James with absolutely no care in the world for the $1000 bucks he had in front of him, his endless wallet, and much more interested in the honey that was attached to him? I am sure Zy plays with some serious gifters occasionally being in NYC.

However, congrats on that online production. And to each his own I suppose. I am sure you probably are just more technically sound then I am and have a better return playing online. I suppose I have never really had a period of time that I seriously spent playing online more than a month at the stakes I prefer. So like I said, I am probably biased.

And this is bad because...

Oh, and also, lol at "they sure do respect aggression more." Every live hand post Zy makes has someone opening 10xBB and 4 cold-callers.

A lot of ppl are there to gamble, thus they wanna see flops (they also arent multitabling and seeing a zillion hands an hour so good hands come by that much quicker to them, so patience is a factor also)

Also live the blinds generally dont effect the PFR as much as the game/stack sizes. I know 5/5 games with a $3k Max Buy and 5/10 with a $5K Max Buy. The opens in 5/5 with the 3 k max where everyone has lots of cash on the table are $60-75 on average (bigger than the 5/10 which is 50-70 usually)

Edit: As an example in tonights 5/10 game everyone was limp/call happy so I adjusted my PFRRs accordingly. When $60 got 6 callers, I tried $80 which got 6 again, then $100 which only got 3. I found $100-110 to be the right amount to raise after 2-3 limpers have entered and about $60-75 if no limpers had entered which limited the action down to 1-3 callers max so thats what I began raising
