I have played online for about 18 months and have logged about 150k hands--not a lot as compared to many in this forum. However, I have also played live once a month in that same time period with my friends. I find that live is easier to make good reads than online because you are generally playing with the same people (home games), the number of tells you can pick up on are enormous and you have so much more time to think about the hand live vs online. Plus, live you have nothing better to do than study hands as they are played since you cannot muti-table. For example, I once told a newbee to my home game what hand he was gonna flip over (JJ) and he almost puked and then he flipped his cards.....yep, JJ. I wasn't even in the hand but since you are captive to one table live, you should make the best use of your time. I would have never been able to make that read online because I multitable and I don't generally pay attention to hands I am not in unless it is a big pot. Another example is when villain went allin on me and I had a str8 but the board was paired. I suspected he might have a boat so I asked him if he liked his hand a lot because I liked mine a lot. He spoke pretty comfortably and joked a little. That told me enough. I folded. Sure enough, he had a boat. And he asked me after the game "How did I know?" Hehe, I didn't tell him.

So, to answer your question...you should be able to adjust your reads to the live game--just be patient. I personally think it's easier than online.
