I have been playing for a long time live and just jumped onto party... it is like a foreign world... i can almost asure myself constant winning sessions live, but online its like i am much less in control and much more subject to statistical variance...

Sounds like my story also. I had been almost 100% live player up until recently and have experienced the same thing.

Live play is easier for a lot of players, obviously because it's easier to tell what someone has in live play and also the quality of live play is much lower than online. Online is mostly players who know at least a little about poker whereas live you get a bunch of donks who are playing for the social aspect.
