I play offline with my friends a few times a week. there are 3 players that play most games and a few others that sometimes join. the regulars in the game usually win.

none of my friends have been successful at online poker.

we play a cash game with a 20p SB and 40p BB. the game is between 4 and 6 handed usually. the buyin is £10 for the 1st buyin. after that you can buyin for what you want.

i used to be successful at offline poker but nowadays i lose more than i win playing with my friends. in the last 50 hours of live play with my friends i'm a loser. and i don't think it's because my cards have been running bad. i'm constantly making wrong decisions. folding when i'm ahead. calling when i'm behind.
and friends seem to read me like a book. when i bet they call me when i'm bluffing and they fold when i have a hand. or at least it seems that way.

i don't know how to win in the live game. i'm quite sure that if i were to play with my friends online i would destroy them all and they really wouldn't stand a chance against me. but offline i just can't play. i don't why.

it might be that i'm way too easy to read. it might be because i don't have the patience for slow offline play.

online i've played over 50k hands and maybe even 100k. i've ground my br to about $4k and currently play 5 handed $200NL at pokerroom.

how do i win offline? help me!
