For players transitioning from live poker – such as on a physical casino floor or in a Poker Room – to online, there are a few considerations we should be making while adjusting. The first is that games at the same stakes will be considerably tougher online than live. It may make sense to play smaller stakes online while transitioning.
Resisting the urge to fire up a lot of tables is important as well. For the inexperienced online player, dividing your attention between a number of games can greatly decrease quality of play. Playing worse across a bigger sample can be problematic.
Overall, I recommend sticking to one or two tables while adapting to online poker.
