In general, it sounds like your poker skills are so attuned to the live game that you are going to have to make a lot of adjustments to start winning online. Psychologically speaking, I would approach online poker as a brand new game and have no expectations for yourself. Start out at .25/.50 (one tenth) is a decent proxy for equivalent skill level live and online. It goes back to Arjonius' post. If you get twice the hands per hour, and the average player is playing 5 tables, you are all of a sudden wagering the same amount of money per hour. Of course the average player probably plays 3 tables or something, but since the player pool sees hands so much faster, everyone has much more experience, which makes them better, hence the factor of 10 and not 6 or less.
