1. Eliminate bluffing almost entirely. Everyone calls too much on-line. Like me, at my levels of play, no one believes that you have hand. Let my opponents' bad calls when I have a hand make up for the times that I could have won with a bluff but did not fire. This is completely different than my live play...
2. Stay tight. Resist the urge to LAG it up like everyone else. My best results come from when I play tight.
3. Leave the table when I am up. If I can win 20-30 BBs at any cash table, I will be perfectly satisfied to leave, bank the profit and start another table. Exception: a clear donk just waiting to give his chips away.
4. Stick mostly to SNGs, where I have my best returns.
5. Keep Omaha tables very low-limit, in my effort to learn this game.
6. Run the math of hands after sessions. I used to do this all the time, but stopped mainly because I don't feel that I need much practice at this any more. But, it wouldn't hurt to get back to the basics and review the math on a regular basis. Come to think of it, my downward slide on-line roughly corresponds to when I stopped doing my poker math homework away from the tables...
7. Stay away form heads-up play, both cash games and SNGs. The variance is too high when you are trying to rebuild.
8. Play at full 9-seat tables. My SNG and cash games results are the very best at 9-seat tables.
9. Read hand analysis on 2+2 more often, stay away from the junk posts.
10. Have fun, don't play scared.

Speak - If you want to swap a couple of HH's I'd go over a couple and see if we can't find some leaks in both of our games.
