bringing your online game to live poker

[Pingviini]

I am a winning online player mostly playing 5/10-25/50 NL and PLO but I am having some trouble playing live. Online all the information about potsizes, betting patterns, ranges etc are easier to observe but I am having trouble having the same thought processes when I am playing live. even when I am really interested in the game. This is more of a problem in cash games. Perhaps because you dont have to consider that many (post flop) factors in tournaments.

of course one obvious way to improve my live game is to play more but I am more interested in hearing your thoughts in speeding up the process. also, most of the live games here are small stakes and full ring which makes it hella boring.

For example, yesterday I was playing a 40/40€ PLO/NL game with two world class players, two known pros and a couple of fish. Eventhough almost all of the players were making clearn mistakes like playing way too loose, passive, some having quite clear betting patterns etc I just couldnt use the information to exploit their play to the fullest. in general I was again playing too passive.

Perhaps I am still being scared of live (cash game) play, perhaps some people just are better online than live (and vice versa). nonetheless, there must be some ways to get better. sorry for the rambling. all help is appreciated.
