We've all seen the maniacs on TV play hold'em! Raise, raise, raise and big bluffs!
That may work at times at the final table, but you will seldom reach the final table that way
Playing softer and setting traps is the way to win! Check and raise your way to WSOP. Save your aggressive play for casino pokerroom ring games, not when playing holdem online

Try backgammon! I find it a lot of fun and a nice exciting break from poker!
Most people raise more on the internet then in real poker rooms, they also call more often online. So bluffs and raises don't work as well. Best to let others bet and raise for you, save your raising for the end if you got near the nut poker hand. This is also a good place to pull the check and raise
When they realize how you are playing, then they are set up for you to do the bluffing and semi-bluffs.
A semi-bluff is raising preflop with less then solid poker hands, like 55, A 8 off suit, 9 T suited and so on
