a lot of truth in what you say. and my poker ego is definitely way too big. but i'm sure i would tear my friends apart online.


PS - online i play cash games mostly and i'm doing ok/good in them. i gave up on tournaments a few months ago but i do have quite a lot of sng experience.

offline i play really good in tournaments (way better than i can play online). but in cash games i don't play good at all.
i seem to be able to read players well in tournies but in cash games i don't really pick up on any reads and i just play the betting patterns like i do online.
has anyone had a similar experience to this?
