Well the biggest differences that you'll notice right away are the absence of cheating syndicates and collusion goups,there will not be hackers who know your hole cards, there annot be 16-year-old donks calling down every hand on their mom's credit card and you wont see sleep-deprived druggies playing 41 tables at a time and then boasting that they're successful. Other than those things, it's the same game. You may also notice that there are not quite as many instant billionaires as all the online stars would have you believe. Also, when you push your stack over the line on a bluff, the players will notice the twitching and sweating. If you want some online experts at your table, just look for the guys with the bad sunglasses.

Not to mention that live you will find a lot of players who are such loose calling stations that they couldn't win online. Play suited connectors. Play little PP. Don't bluff much; someone is calling. Push with the nut flush; a smaller flush or even TPTK is calling, In general 1/2 is NL 5 online. Before you make a continuation bet, realize that some players at your table may call a 2/3 or 3/4 pot bet with overs. And always remember: several of the players at the table will gladly lose their buyin on a draw. They are gambling, not slaving at a rakeback factory. You really need to learn the players at your table specifically and quickly; PT/PAHUD won't do it for you.

Sincerely,

A drug crazed multitabler collusion bot syndicate member who enjoys live play from time to time.
