I play better live.

You probably play too many hands, bluff too much, play out of position too much, and overvalue "deception" plays when most of the players won't notice what you're doing enough to be deceived in later hands.

In general, at most live games, you need to show down the best hand. Often, in late position, you might be able to bluff at small pots, but big pots will just about always require big hands (sets or better). Overplaying 1-pair in a 100bb-200bb live game is generally spew since you end up against 2-pair a lot more since players are looser in raised pots live than online. The trick is to be the guy with the set when some other guy is stacking off with 2-pair.
