How do you deal with the variance at low limits?

[too eazy]

bluegrass. two things i'd like to address and can guarantee are fact.

the "good" players at you're home game are actually quite terrible

and you are most likely over-rating your own skill based on the fact the small pool of players you play with live are so horrible. you might think they're good because you play with them often and they'll make "reads" occasionally but i can guarantee they have endless fundamental flaws.

you need to set the ego aside to make it online where the players are a lot better than in live games.

it was something i struggled with too so don't take this as a jab at you, it's just something every online player who started with live games had to swallow to make it to the next step.
