More Confident Live

When I play live I find it much easier to asses what my opponents have and how they will act. It allows me to take alot more risks then online (I still win online, but very boring ABC poker). Does anyone else feel the quality of thier play increases in live play.

I mostly multi-table online, and play my hands in an ABC sort of manner. I mainly play the 10+1 and 20+2 single table tourneyments on partypoker. These aren't the most complex forms of poker around.

Recently, I've decided that if I'm going to improve my play I need to spend some time playing live, because this gives me more time to think, and I can focus more on my hands. Plus, the atmosphere as a loose 3/6 table can be really nice, with friendly players, chips to play with, beverages to order, etc.

much easier to asses a players abilty live.also playing NL you can grab a stack of chipsa(act like your going to push it) and get a reaction. cant really do that online.

I sometimes find myself playing a bit weak-tight live, but this is probably more because I play a lot higher live than I do online. I enjoy live much more.
