I live in LA so i see lots of maniacs playing live. My take is this (from a LA perspective): I prefer NL in live games because i allow my opponents to make more mistakes when i make them draw on bad odds.

However, in Limit holdem, LA casinos are not the place for limit holdem all the way up to 10/20. The games are just too loose and with 4 plus people seeing the flop constantly, they are correctly to draw all the way to the river and i can't really blame them when they give me bad beats.
