Default Online vs Live

When i play online i have to be in peak mood/mental condition otherwise i spew like im gus hansen. At live poker i can be tired bored hungry and the guy next to me smells like a sewer drain and i play fine.

As i type I am kinda tilted and now i just started screen capturing trying to see how bad I play. I however believe i have cooled down now and will be playing better for at least another 30 mins and i might break down. I type "river" in the chat box every time i get sucked on now cause I somehow find it therapeutic which it is till someone else is like he hit it on the turn, then i usually go ballistic.

what is it about live poker that magically makes me patient and not feel like gouging my eyes out even though its so boring and i play 10 hands an hour and the people are not fun to talk to. It should tilt me outa ma mind.

At least once every online session i blow a buyin on either over agressing some ***oid or some stupid call down with 0 equity. I will try to post some examples later. I think i have at least one from today.

I lost a pot to a guy live that was 600bb when he was "priced in" with a bare 6 high flush draw vs my set. on the flop. He yelled "ship!" and then complained about how bad he was running. all i did was get up walk around get chips sit back down and make back a hundo. If that would have happend online I woulda started playing junk oop and raising to 5-6x pf. calling down 1 pair cause "this guy is a huge idiot"
