in re-reading this thread for about the 7th time...trying to identify what I am missing...why my experience is so different from most replies...

I wonder if it's not because in the world of "live" poker there are also so many levels of live poker. from home games, to tribal casinos, to poker clubs to the WSOP.

For me, I only play live poker in a casino about 10-12 days per year.  The rest is all played in a poker club that will naturally have a very different purpose and clientele than a casino would.  You need to know where these places are located through word of mouth as they do not advertise, and they are located in the "cheap rent" parts of town.  You have to pay a fee just to walk in the door and become a "member" of the club and there are no slot machines or video poker or blackjack tables, c0cktail waitresses, or even c0cktails to be had once you get in there.  It's all poker all the time once inside and so naturally, the type of person who ventures inside is not usually a casual or recreational gambler just on a quick break from the dental convention...

I don't know, maybe this is where my bias lies.  I have found live poker (in my experiences) to be much different from the way most posters describe it.  This business of limping in all the time and ignoring position...that actually sounds like ONLINE poker to me...but that's probably because of the cheap stakes I play online, and the more expensive stakes I play live.
