I'm not sure what you mean here, but B&M poker is a bit more social than online. You often talk to people and they will often respond.

One father even showed his hand to his son a couple of times to see whether or not he should call a raise I made.

This violates the "one player to hand rule" and would piss me off. I would ask the dealer to make it stop. If it didn't stop, I would call the floor.

I don't have a cardroom any closer than that one.

Sounds like a good cardroom to go to, but I've never been there.

Good luck!
