Difference between opponent depending on the platform

[Robles77]

I have realized that there is a huge difference between players quality depending on the platform,for example I had been playing on a platform where the players level 2 ( table of 2 dollars) are way stronger than players level 20( table of 20 dollars) where I'm playing now.!! It is something to put a lot of attention.!!

Depending on the platform and the tournament, many players bet all in on pokerstars freerolls, players are more cautious in tournaments with higher buy ins.

[margmilo44]

there are differences between platforms for sure. i find my style results better at 888 and partypoker for some reason. the others are too aggressive and wpt just sucks

I think this has to do with where they get their player base.

A lot of good players have lower ROIs on sites like ACR and BetOnline where there are more bots and multi-entry cheaters.

I think that opponents vary at all levels. Some people play to earn cash, while others play for fun and, if they get lucky, to win some money (but this is a secondary goal for such players, as they are primarily seeking emotion).

The difference between opponents on various poker platforms can be significant, affecting strategy and decision-making. Online players tend to be more aggressive, multi-table, and statistically minded, often relying on HUDs and tracking software, while live players are slower, read physical tells, and may be more passive or inconsistent. Regional platforms can have skill gaps, with certain countries having tighter or looser playstyles. Smaller or niche sites often attract recreational players, making value betting easier, whereas major platforms host tougher, experienced opponents requiring sharper strategy and disciplined bankroll management to succeed consistently.

Could you please elaborate! What platforms are you talking about?

I suspect that different platforms use different random number generator systems. That's why sometimes, when the level of players seems to be roughly the same, the game turns out to be completely different. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I can't explain it any other way.
