That's a fair question Sir. Take this as you will. I play live tourneys about five times a week and I make pretty decent money at it (there are several local casinos where I live). I play cheap on-line games as a form of practice (even though I think it is rigged)because it teaches you valuable stuff. For example, you learn to play very close attention to betting patterns since it is the only "tell" available. That carries over nicely to live games. You learn to play with donks (or at least avoid some of the donk pitfalls) since there are so many. You learn odds since you can take your time looking them up (poker academy has a nice tool for this) after hands are played - can't so that live. All that being said - I do not think it is random. Good practice nonetheless.
