I win online but lose in a casino.....wonder why.

I was thinking about this last night...specifically:

- Does playing on-line cause anyone else to be less vigilant about counting the money in the pot?

Whenever I lose count online, I just hover the mouse over the pot and *bammo* instant pot odds. I find myself neglecting to count bets more and more.

- Does playing on-line cause anyone to be less careful about hiding your own tells?

When I hit a flush draw and jump up and down shaking my fist in excitement, folks are less likely to read me online than in a casino. Less dramatically, I've noticed that my pulse increases a lot online when bluffing, when it never used to in a casino or home game. Has anyone else noticed something like this?

Just curious,
