Home Game Vs Online Strategy - Main Pointers required

I remember sitting at a home game a few months ago when a fellow player said - 'Don't bluff a bad player'. Makes sense I guess. As to who the bad player was I don't know - which probably says more about my level of play than anything else.

Thing is in this scenario, an online player like me that really enjoys the social event that is a live game ends up being the sucker due to lack of sheer patience in the speed of the live game. Doesn't take even half as long to work out who to avoid and who to dominate online so -

I guess this thread is an open invitation for anyone to share their own tips and strategies for online players that want to enter in to live home games.

Thanks in advance people. I have my pen and paper at the ready
