I definitely see a difference between the types of hands that are played live versus online. For some reason people will play just about any hand online. I'm not sure if it's because they feel like the cards are predetermined or what, but hands are much looser online. So therefore, I don't place people on hands when I play online. I just make sure I always try to bet accordingly and have as good a kicker as possible.

On a side note. For practice, I play poker with the Hoyle Casino computer program. Those computer characters will play just about anything and I really liken it to a live online game. I know there are other programs out there, but I use it to practice just about all the casino games I play. My craps game is top notch now. As well as baccarat and blackjack. (It even shows how to count cards.) Check it out.
