Default Re: Can\'t understand why I don\'t do well online (long)

I loved this post and almost all the responses. I played fulltilt .05/.1 NL then got a deposit bonus on party. Well, their cheapest game is .5/1. I won huge the first night. I was up $80. I then proceded to lose $15-20 almost every time I played. After running through the bonus and another hundred, I went back to fulltilt and played .25/.50. I win almost every time. The difference was poker tracker. (and re-reading sshe ten times) I bought it and realized I was playing 44/3 ish. I had no idea that I was that loose a player. I have now stats at full tilt of 26/9. (this is maybe over 1500 hands. I currently play tighter than that.)What really gets me is that when I go back to party, I still lose. I have only played two or three sessions so I know it is not statistically significant, but I also can tell a difference between the players. Party players are way more loose aggressive. The effect is a huge swing. I play in very few hands now but you can really tell a difference in the tables. Here is my question : Are the tables more passive at other sites? Tilt is definately tighter and more passive than party where I routinely see some guy call me to the river with nothing and my middle pair wins. I find it hard to fold on the turn or river becuase people routinely raise any two cards. Party is almost like playing for play money but it hurts when you lose. So, let me know if you all think is there that much difference or what.

And thanks for all the great responses to mike4bmp's post.
