Playing tighter online than Live

Not in my experience either. They both are generally loose.

Players live - at the same limits - are way, way looser than online. If you're ever at a live 2/4 table where only 4-5 people are seeing the flop, that would probably be considered tight. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Edit: Not to mention that if people are playing looser, you should too (though not to the extent they are). They're making it a lot more profitable for you to play some more marginal hands.

I think that is a mistake in online play. Especially playing suited connectors 89s and below. Pocket pairs, TJs and up yes, if the game is that loose/passive. However, I believe you need to be at the table for at least several rounds before you adjust to this style and have accurately identified the table.
