Planting a seed

I know I read a related post by Abdul on RGP about this, but let me throw this out there:

What are the key differences between poker in California, poker in Las Vegas, and poker online?

All three are characterized by terrible players, but there’s a different quality to the horrible play in each arena. This English major can’t adequately describe what that is, but it’s there.

So given the premise that the games are different, and that several of the ideas and strategies that we find in Winning Low Limit Hold ‘Em and Abdul’s postings at RGP and PosEV are primarily based on their experiences in California’s No Fold ‘Em games (4-way showdowns!), what adjustments, if any, are necessary for the transition to the tourist-filled poker rooms of Vegas and the doubly-abstracted, ever-shifting poker rooms of the Internet?

I’ll be thinking about this over the coming year, but if any of you have any ideas, archived posts, or hidden RGP gems on this topic, I’d be quite grateful for a pointer.

I leave you with this: Being ahead when you are actually behind by Andrew of RPS Consulting. “Always keep 12 big bets at the table when there is a 4 bet cap. You may need them.” Amen.
