On a similar note, and to expand on the comment I just made. The win rates online are in most cases much lower than the same game live. For instance, if I played 5/10LHE live, and won less than 5bb/100 I'd be shocked. When I play online, 5/10LHE, if I won at 1.5bb/100 I'd be thrilled.
When you have a lower win rate, your standard deviation goes up, as does your variance. This will cause you to have amazingly ridiculous swings all the time, because the players are better, and you are not given the opportunities to expand on your edge. My personal guess is that your "true"(if you played infinity hands) win rate online is very small compared to your live win rate, therefore; when you combine that with the number of hands your playing per hour online(2-2.5x PER table) your swings seem huge in comparison.

I'm not questioning anything you say, I was just curious since I'm clearly not an expert, but why would your win rate be lower for online games than live games?
