Are online players (such at Stars) that much better?

Long story short: yes.

Brick-and-mortar players tend to fall more into the "tourist" category, even if they go to the cardroom regularly. The attitude is, "I'm out for a night on the town, so damned if I'm going to sit here folding every hand for two hours." Some probably fool themselves into believing they're winning. Some probably know they're losing but consider it entertainment expenditure.

But be warned: while a game like Foxwoods $4/8 is extremely beatable, it also is higher-variance than you might be used to. Don't panic if you have a -50 to -75 BB session.
