It is. Having thought about it multiple times over the last weeks, I can see that these two completely different monsters.  While the basic principle and game is the same, the difference in  pace, the units involved and above all the ambience impacts your game so much that you need to have two different strategies for online (whether live or rmg) and b&m. 

While I would never think twice before going 100 u on a 10p base, i might do it twice if I my base is 5£.  I don't know about others when there are 100£ units flying on the table it takes a bit of mind games before I place a 5£ bet.  I don't have that outside influence when I am playing online at home.  I have to master the art of writing notes in a paper amidst people putting their hands over my head to place bets while the computer does the work at home. It is different and both are satisfying in their own way. 

I went to hippodrome again today.  Thought I will try some of Martin Blakey today.  As the initial fear has gone, I went straight to the drinks table, ordered a coke and started watching.  Suddenly something strange happened. On 25£ min table there was a string of 5 lows and a high followed by 10 lows and a high.  I don't know what took me, before I could think I was there putting 30£ cash on low. Crazy and came 28. What a start. 

Everything went for a toss. I was playing strategies that I never planned to play.  Played in 4 breaks and ended up converting 200£ into 490£ and two cokes and a beef skewer.  This is not me and never did I intend it to be. I wanted to have a look around hippodrome, but that's now for a different day. 

Thing is people talk about discipline and I thought am a lot self disciplined. But that one hour changed my view on myself. It is a different ball game.
