Summary by @tldr:
It may be challenging if the stakes get high in something like a WSOP event, but try to leave your emotions at the door, and remember, you're playing a game.
I actually preferred live poker, but didn't have the bankroll to sustain a proper level of profitability, compared to online.
Even still, my proudest moments playing live poker are when I folded kings, pre-flop, face up, twice, in big games.
People intently focused for an hour straight are probably playing the game on a different level than Joe Budweiser cheering on the Pats.
I wanted the other players to either fear me or think I was a complete idiot, so that I could aggressively box them into corners later in the game.
If I come across as very tight, by folding top pair on the flop face up in the first few rounds, then I can loosen my game up and become an aggressive wrecking ball to these same players just hands later.
