Do people just suck on party poker?

We had our regular wednesday poker game at Randy's house tonight, and I took 3rd. Somewhat happy with my play, but not thrilled. Anyway, it left me hankering for some more poker, and the only place to do that is online.

So, I signed up for a Party Poker account.... I played 8 tournaments, taking 1st in 3 of them and 2nd in 1. Do people just really suck on party poker or what? Because I've never had results like that playing live tournaments. Maybe it was just a fluke or something.
