Maybe it’s not airing on TV until tonight? :( If so, you can blame USA Today… that’s where I got the story (linked), so I assumed it was common knowledge. (Trust me, I don’t have any poker insider info.)

Ap, I’m not exactly sure what you mean by this? I didn’t write this post btw, Casey did, but I’m not sure she’ll understand either. What is so special about tonight? :)

Well obviously you can play more hands online than in live action games, so you can easily train on playing hands correctly online.

In live action games you don’t play your cards though, you play your opponents. That’s why I think geeks who rarely play live, will never take over the live (no limit) cash game tables from pros like Daniel Negreanu and Doyle Brunson. Live experience is much more important in those ring games.

Tournaments like the WSOP is another story: luck is a bigger factor and there are probably more online players than there are “seasoned pros”. So yea, (us) geeks probably have an advantage in those games. :)
