One topic to consider might be fundamental differences between online
play and playing face-to-face. While most players (at least in flight
A) hesitate over skip bids, for example, in regular play, you can
forget that hope in online play.
This means that the aggressive pre-empting style used by many modern
players may not work so well online.
There may be similar themes -- lack of time for really difficult hands,
for example.
