When people talk about playing live poker, it’s often associated with luxury gambling in James Bond style, but the reality is quite different. The colleagues at Poker Bounty know all too well that you actually sit at the table for hours with back pain, only see about 20 hands per hour, and have to listen to your neighbor’s bad beat stories.

The Discovery of Slowness!
Anyone making the leap from online to live poker should be aware that instead of the average 75 to 100 hands per hour, you’ll only see about 20, and that’s only at a single table. Live, you get almost no sample size that reflects your own performance, and a single card can wipe out a week’s worth of grind profit live.

Anyone home?!
Precisely because you see so few hands live, you’re all the more glued to your seat, often for 12 hours or more. Shoulder, head, and limb pain are commonplace, as is increasing fatigue. In such situations, you often play only on auto-pilot without specifically thinking through situations.
