I am the most disciplined live player that I can possibly imagine myself to be. However online is a whole different story and I really don't know why. If I was as discipled online as I am live I'll prolly have 2x the bankroll I have right now and it really makes me feel sick.
I have burned quite a lot of BI in sheer frustration where as in live poker the maximum thing I might do in frustration is to make a loose call pre flop.
One of the reasons I have thought is that in online poker you keep getting more chips to play until your balance runs out and if you have a substantial roll then you really become careless. Where as in live poker I have to pay for a buy in from my pocket right there.
I also believe that staring at a computer screen for hours playing multiple tables can take into a weird state of mind where you are clicking clicking and clicking. You can end up doing it without thinking too much.
But in live poker you are sitting in a real world and you actually have to say all-in or put all the chips in the middle which means you are less likely to do something completely bizarre.
Is this something you have experienced as well? My friends are all in awe of my live poker discipline but little do they know what I do sometimes in online poker lol.
