What’s the biggest adjustment going from online to live poker?

[Nesehorn156]

I’ve played mostly online, but recently started playing more live sessions. The pace is obviously slower, but I also noticed the dynamics feel completely different. People talk more, give off physical tells, and ranges seem wider in certain spots.
At the same time, patience becomes way more important because you’re playing fewer hands per hour.
For those who play both regularly, what do you think is the biggest adjustment when switching from online to live? Is it exploitative play, mental game, bet sizing, reading people… or something else?
Would love to hear your experiences.

You'd have to be able to count chips and know what colours represent what amounts. It feels very unnatural after playing online and having all of that taken care of.

The online games go at a fast pace and live games are a lot slower than the pace you are used to.
There is a lot happening in the live environment and it is easy to get distracted and lose focus of being in the moment.
