good contributions by all..

and i would just underline that people play poker for different reasons..... alot of us what to try to grind out a few BB/100 hand win rate, and some of us laugh at these terrible fish. but then some of those fish are playing strictly for entertainment and would laugh at how pathetic we are trying to grind out some small win rate. (don't get me wrong, i have a good time at B&M even if i lose)..

players at B&M are bad for alot of reasons. but don't forget that online you can multi-table or surf the internet or watch TV while playing so the wait for the big cards isn't that great. but as was mentioned, at B&M most players don't want to fold hands for an hour waiting for something. and for beginners who don't know, you can go a long time between decent cards.
