High Hand
Lots of good responses here I'll just reinforce reword.
Youre home game sample size is miniscule. Do not focus on results. Focus on evaluating your decisions from a mathematical or theoretical pov. For example, "If I raise A7o UTG in a 7 handed game, am I making money in the long run?" " If I cold call 3 and 4 bets, am I making money?"
Adjust you online game to your live game heavily. Even .02/.05 will play "better" than most home games I've played.
DO NOT become your opponents, think how to exploit them
They call too much- Eliminate the bluffing portion of your range.
They are inelastic to bet sizing- value bet big and bluff smaller
They bluff/ stab with weak hands too much- check/call more of you moderate-strong hands
They have fancy play syndrome, slow playing monsters- let them, they are losing value.
They think they are good at poker because they are winning- for gods sake don't correct them
