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.

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.

Those old stud players also play the worst, unimaginative stud possible too.

"When that other guy was betting, why were you raising into me? I had two pair! I thought for sure you had the flush the way you were playing it, so i folded!"

Meeting different people, and yes, I get a kick out of even the most obnoxious, the degens, the characters,etc.

free drinks

much easier games limit for limit than online.

All players are eagerly trying to get to value town.

1) Listening to what other people believe to be true.
2) Spreading lies, and hoping other people believe me.
3) Chips, tidal waves of blue chips (4/8 @ Commerce)
4) Football, roast duck wonton soup and poker all at the same time. (Hawaiian Gardens)
5) The 2am Parade of the Drunken Hotties (as Studio 54 closes @ MGM)
6) taking $ from a guy reading HEFAP at my table.
7) Busting maniacs.
8) Chewing out the "setup" people.
9) Table shares.
10) Just being able to win @ LLHE.

~ 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
