Default Wow....Not What I Expected.

I played online for the first time tonight. To make a long story short, I had a very hard time reading bet patterns and making good plays. I'm usually very good in home games but it seemed like all my bluffs were being called and people were making very strange bets.
I'm assuming that its hard to go from only live games to online, and hope I can get into this e-grove before I lose much money. Any input?

Don't bluff until you have a good read.

In online poker, it is easy to wait for premium hands. You may want to get tricky, but you really don't have to at the low limits.

Bet your big hands big, fold your small hands.

Post all of the hands you have questions about, and you will become a better player.

UPDATE:
Day 2, I tripled what was left of my leeeeeetle BR. Played 5 SNGs for 1.20 Placed 1st twice Hold'em and 5Card Draw, and 2nd once. My SNG record is pretty good, I think I'll stick to them. Thanks for advice everyone.
