Yeah, if I'm focusing on one table, then I'm going to be maximizing my extractions from players.  Multitabling splits my focus, so I'm actually winning at a lower rate, just playing more hands per hour.

The reasons I think online poker is different really aren't related to multitabling.  When people are behind their computer, it's easy to be aggro.  All you have to do is click a button.  You don't have to sit there and have the other guy staring at you, it's very impersonal.  Online games in general are often this way, very aggressive.  Player routinely will attempt some crazy bluffs, or will make these crazy hero calls.  Light 4 and 5 betting are not this everyday thing in live games like they are online.  You'll see them sometimes, but not often.  I've personally only seen it happen once live.

In live games, players are often much more passive, and are more afraid to run bluffs.  When you bluff live and get caught, there's some sense of embarassment assosciated with it.  Everyone's looking at you thinking, "Oh man, what an idiot".  This thought keeps a lot of players from making moves.  On top of this, they invested some amount of time getting to the casino, waiting on the list.  They don't want to sit down and bust themselves trying to run some bluff or by calling a big bet when they only have middle pair.

However stick that same player online, and he may very well try that bluff or hero call.  Those are a few of the things I'm referring to when I say live and online are different games.
