Old stud players at the Holdem tables who think the game is all luck and aren't afraid to teach you. "Now STUD, that's a thinking man's game!" As they proceed to play some of the worst Holdem you can imagine. But hey, it's all luck old dude! Bad break on that hand my friend. And that one too. And yeah, that other hand was unlucky too, that sux.

I mean, come on, how often will you see someone in Stud/8 call 4 bets cold on 3rd street with AK7 rainbow (at least the Ace was his door card) and proceed to catch perfect-perfect-perfect-perfect for a wheel?

-Playing in a place where being a degenerate seems "normal."

-Playing against opponents who can't see my hole cards.

atmosphere and people. I also appreciate the fact that I can actually compete as opposed to getting my ass handed to me frequently online-LOL. I enjoy little "bad structure" MTT's live prior to several hours of NL. Compared to online games people actually are easy to tolerate-mostly. If not for local live play I would have quit before I ever had any success. Of course, without online play (self abuse)I would never have had success at the live tables as quickly. Long live live poker!

Not having to hide my true Degen nature.

Being able to beat 10/20NL better than 1/2NL online (10x multiplier LOLROFLBBQNASANAACP)

People who suck at poker worse than I do. Suckitude is relative.

Insta-propping/flop color props.

Going to play any form of Stud with these same people, and discovering that they suck just as badly as they do at holdem.

Really? ha ha, I don't play stud, but for some reason you are not surprising me.

Collecting huge pots and making huge stacks of chips.
Actually seeing players and getting many tells and a sense for the strength of their hand.
But mostly...
Way more Donks with absolutely no clue playing live than online.

~ Gets me away from the wife and kids.

~ Playing with chips, card, a dealer, and NO MOUSE (why else do you go?)

~ The really bad players to go with above chips, cards, dealer, etc....

~ Chewing on the above noted chips so as to try to catch and spread the next pandemic....

- handling chips
- knowing that nobody is running a program to look at all of our hole cards
