The typical online player is tougher because he has access to all the various databases. When the online player who is used to seeing the details of the players he is playing against can no longer see these details in a live game he is basically playing blind. Unless he is used to live play, he may now experience moments of extreme uncertainty which may now lead to physical tells on his part which his more experienced live opponents may be able to exploit.

Makes sense. So it depends on the tools you are used to using, whether internal / mental or external superimposed on your screen. When you don't have them at your disposal you're like a fish out of water so to speak (no other similarities intended). After all there is no substitute for practice and repetition to create confidence and skill is there...
