I think that it absolulely changes your live games. I think that you need to see online limit and casino limit as different and limit and NL poker. My feeling is that it is MUCH easier to click to call as it is to physically grab chips and move them in. Online you get a lot more big pots w/ people calling w/ bottom pairs or pocket undercards and many more callers and raisers preflop. There are so many big pots that if you are a solid player you can really clean up.

Playing the same cards in a live game you may win as many pots, but you wont get as many big ones. It is more a game of solid play and stealing blinds, baiting, slow playing and check raising.

I've noticed that almost nine hands out of ten online, no one seems to fold before the flop, and probably 7 out of then get raised to the limit before the flop . . . I assumed this was a characteristic of playing for play money (still reasearching how to fund my online gaming), but is it more of a general playing-online trend?
