i think that im a good live player but my online game is so terrible, its unreal. is there any pointers or books to help as the internet is the best place to earn some good cash,

here is my known problems

1. when im playing live i dont lose concentration, online i cant sit for hours as it seems so boring

2. i dont know why but it seems that im always being bluffed so i always call light no matter how tight or loose the player is

i know that i seem to answer my questions but all help is really appreciated

One way to cure both of the above problems is to multi-table.  Even if u play 4 tables, u will not be as bored, and u will only be playing premium hands.  As a rule, its harder to get bluffed wen u have a premium hand :)  As the old saying goes, practise makes perfect!

im opposite

i seem to prefer playing online amd have better results

for some reason i cant take my online play and use it live

eg
online sng/mtt

folded to me with QJs or Q 10s in the button or sb - 90% ill raise hopefully to steal the blinds,  if im re rasied i"ll evaluate

live
similar scenario - i"ll either weakly limp in the sb or just weakly limp or fold on the button

u shud clearly never fold or limp this on the button but depending on the bb I dnt mind the limp from the sb.  If the bb is a defender that plays well pre&post flop, then I dnt want to play a swollen pot out of position with a marginal hand.  If the bb is weak/passive, then fire at will on every occasion!
