Young players acquiring their experiences on online poker websites, who are really aggressive during live party, are remarkable these last years. But for gamers used to play live party, these players have weaknesses. Online players depend essentially on mathematics and agressivity. The importance of being in front or behind in the level of cards is not very important. The reading of hands is less present in them », said Daniel Dodet, a 44 years old belgian. Used to play international tournaments and cash game table in big casinos, Dodet is now accumulating $359,633 of gain and he had already won the 4th position during the final table of the EPT Baden 2006. "The strength of live players, in other words my strength on table, is the read and the odds. It resides in reading my opponents’ hands and the strategy of respect of the financial odds of a hand", he continued.

Thus, he qualifies online players as "worried about the 'squeeze' and the 'fold equity' with betting and rising". For him, a player in live dares gambling on the forth card on the board if he feels that he is ahead. This gap noticed in these young players from the Internet is in this way easy to manage according to Dodet. "From now on, I have less respect for this kind of online players' betting. When I feel that I stick up in an action, I can manage it better in step with the player’s style, online or live", he continued. So, two different styles of game have to be played facing these two types of players during a live tournament.
