I play live at least two days a week, more if my schedule allows. I play online everyday.

tournaments have the highest variance of all. I understand excactly what you are talking about because I quit playing online for about 6 months and was not ever going to redeposit. Pacific poker gave me $10 free and I started playing microlimits and built t up from there.

I did not understand why I could go play live and win but always lost playing online. The answer is I was way to loose and way to passive. Live players come to the casino to play and many will playa every hand. At low limits you can be really really loose and with a just a little better than average luck, you can win for an extended period of time.

Because there are so many more hands per hour, any holes in your game are magnified and when a fish gets lucky, it has a greater impact also.
