There is a reason some of the best poker players in the world only jump online for short sessions. Live is much more profitable for REAL Poker Players. There have only been a few online players make the switch to Live and most of them already played some small live tourneys. I think it was Hellmuth who said something like, "Why play online and get railed by an idiot when you can play another idiot live and rail him." I see these online kids come in the Poker Rooms all the time talking about how they took down major pots online only to lose it to me Live

Online, for the most part, is not a barometer for REAL Poker Players.
