Default Re: The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs onlin

I totally can relate to the stress that is associated with poker. However, I do not understand why online poker is so much more stressful to me than live. I swear, I am much more anxious, nervous etc in a $1 45 player online tournament than a $200 live tournament where I am at the final table. Same thing with playing cash games that are 10x the stake live. Is this a random idiosyncrasy that I have or is there some merit to online poker being more stressful than live. For what it's worth, I have been profitable at both online poker and live poker for all sorts of stakes. Anyone else have similar feelings?
