The main difference I think in online play is this.
It is much easier to press "Call" and call bets that you shouldnt then actually put in money. It just doesnt feel as real.
Because of this there are more bad beats, (and also more ways to make more money when you hit, or force someone to pay the wrong odds to draw...like they say tho, you remember all the times your AA or whatever gets outdrawn, but dont remember very many if any of the times it holds up as it should)
The only problem with this type of play is it takes away/limits many weapons from your arsonal (steal raises, continuation bets, probe bets just to name a few) and forces you more to extract the most when you think you have the best hand and the least when you dont -- this could lead to losing sessions when you simply dont catch cards to compete, or your good PF hands (AQ AK etc) simply miss on the flop.
Overall though you shouldnt want people to play like idiots -- it just sucks when they get lucky.
