It seems like whenever I play a live cash game or tourney, the patience (and sometimes interest) usually isnt there. Im so used to playing multiple tables online, that when I play live, I just cant sit back and wait for a hand. I try to make things out of nothing. Raising with 78o after a couple folds, trying to take down the blinds for example. What should I do? Not play them? Bring a book?

Try observing the other players. There is much more to learn from observation in live play, and your win rate will thank you with a much higher return per 100 hands than on the net.

Practice your tell reading, especially in terms of trying to predict held cards. Otherwise, relax and chat.

How about doing Phil Hellmuth impressions?

If you count the pot size constantly and focus on the hands and how they play, your reads and your winrate gets pumped up like roids.

Try shuffling chips, that bumped up my patience at the B&M many folds.

This has been a HUGE problem for me. Online, I play 4-6 shorthanded tables or 8 full tables. Going from 300+ hands per hour to 35 hands per hour was very difficult. I found myself playing WAY too many hands, [censored] I would NEVER play online. I've largely vanquished the problem, but still have to resist limping with hands that deserve a fold, and calling with hands I know are beat.
What has helped most is focusing on learning about the players, and getting better reads. I also have a friend who I am required to call if I do something stupid. This helps as well, because I find myself thinking, "[censored], if I play this hand, I'm going to have to call my buddy and admit it." -Milo |
