Hi all, I need help...
When I play live poker tournaments I play well, make good decisions and normally very good at reading people but here's the problem.
When I play online poker I tend to never play my best and I end up going out early and making stupid decisions which I would never do in live poker. Is it because I'm not paying to much attention and get bored or is it that because I play $1-3 MTT online that I can't read people as well as I can and there's just so many donks playing daft hands and calling with anything?...

Thanks in advance! :)

live poker has nothing to do with online poker. In online poker the average player is much better and more difficult to win, also you should get a HUD(heads up display) like pokertracker if you are serious about online poker, and you have to put some work on your game if you want to be a winning player because is a very competative enviroment. YOU should avoid playing tournament because of the variance i would suggest to start with sit n' go first and build up your game with the right bankroll managment.

well I think the drawback first one is simple you dont respect the money your putting online. You do not feel the cost of it going out to a dealer or on a table etc..

You havent accepted that its real poker therefore your probably not playing your A game :)

my friend playing MTT 1-3 hard to talk about the good level of the game! You try to read a player online! It's not so easy! You will have to address not a single article! Moreover, the analysis need hands! Still 1-3 limits are hard to understand! Better limits 11-20! I read players at different limits! But the limits of 1-3, and for me not understandable!

I would recommend tightening your opening range of hands early in online tournaments, if you are busting out early that is a problem. Blinds are low there are no antes or the antes are low if late in the early part of tournaments, so there is really no reason to play without super premium hands early. I say tighten up early and then loosen up after the blinds and antes are worth playing for.
