great advice. just let me say you really shouldn't focus too much on the bets/checks. immediate bets could mean anything. it is more important to know your player and not focus too much on any set rules... every player is different in some regards

Great advice in this thread - and I'm definitely a practicer of some of these mistakes on numerous occasions.

One thing that I used to do when I played online more frequently was that before I login (doesn't matter which site, Ultimatebet, PokerRoom, whatever) I had to get into a frame of mind in order to get into that mode for playing poker. It's so easy to get distracted and it's so different than when you're going to a B&M Casino.

Going to a B&M you have the travel time to think to yourself and get psyched about what you're going to do and sometimes an adrenaline rush. When you finally get there - you should be like - 'ok, I'm ready to go'. Online, your travel time involves just walking upstairs or into the next room and sittin down in the chair.

One thing that I used to do was pace around and think about past experiences - one time I even went outside and walked around the block to reflect and try to emulate the thoughts that go through my head when going to a B&M.

Not sure if this would help others, but it helps me get into that mindset of playing poker and to prevent distractions.

Cheers and good luck on the tables!

Good point! I am in a less serious even nonchalant(I think that's a word??) frame of mind when I go to play online. Very casual. But going to a real casino I'm so excited I always have butterflies! Next time I'll try to work myself up before I logon. Definitely need to take my online poker more seriously. Who knows, maybe I might even win! Thanks mate. Good post.
