Default Re: On Line & Books

I play no limit (micro stakes) @ PokerRoom.
I have observed that nerly every one play conservative style of Holdem. I also noticed that lots of players play nerly every hand and, yes, they loosing after some time.
I have recent experiance @ live table. Went to Crown Casino in Melbourne and pop in my head to where poker tables are located. Under some personal pressure i put my name for 1/2 table. The game started. Boy o Boy it has been experiance. The looking for positions of other players, calculating my hand, the pot size, the ods. All went to rubish basket. I could not concetrate on basicly any thing, but my hand and the cards on the table (lucky me).
The funniest thing has been when i miss my check call and the deeler remind me that i may check instead fold. Well, i check with 4-6 and on the end i got full house and nice pot.
This shows me that the internet is not the same as live table (must get more experiance @live table).
But, getting back to books.
I have stambled on Phils Hellmuths book - "Play Poker Like the Pro". Simply putting it is a different way of playing.
Would any one play in simmular style, or experiance the same play in NLH ?
I am wandering if maybe can be adapted for internet games.
