Adapting from online poker to live poker can be a tricky transition. The live game moves at a much slower pace than online, and players can only play one table at a time, obviously. This can sometimes be a challenge for online poker players used to multi-tabling.

There is also a wealth of information in the live game that is not available in online poker. Slowing down and absorbing this extra information is a key to success in live poker. 

In general, you will also see weaker play in live poker vs online, especially at small stakes. I am always very reluctant to give unknown players credit for playing well in live poker. I believe in the art of observation and adapting your play, but starting that process from a low bar when assessing new live poker players.

BetMGM Poker is the best site to play online poker, but be sure to visit the casino floor or Poker Rooms at MGM Resorts properties to try your hand at a live game. Remember, by being a BetMGM Rewards member you can earn and transfer points, valid for both online and live.
