Transitioning from Online Tournaments to Live Tournaments - Advice request

[IamMoe123]

Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice on transitioning between playing online to live. Although I realize this is an open subject, and vague question, I figured that I might as well ask it. The main reason being, I'm used to multi-tabling tournaments and juggling various other things at the same time to keep myself entertained. While playing live, with 1 hand dealt ever 10-15 hands/h is a stark contrast to being dealt 100 x 4 hands/h, I've found myself growing bored quickly and playing sub-optimally. Additionally, I'm sure that ranges shift quite widely when people can't hide behind the anonymity of their screen names. Now I have the opportunity of playing the GUKPT £1090, and figure I should do my due diligence in the form of prep-work. More concrete questions: Does anyone have any advice on keeping themselves mentally alert when playing 2-day events? Is there a big difference in hand ranges/aggression factors between online and live? Mental exercises for fighting off tilt? Has anyone else made a transition from online to live, and what were the initial stumbles? Anyone who avidly plays both, what's the biggest difference for you? Any advice on offer / flaming is welcome. Other than that, I hope to contribute to this forum in a positive way.
