B&M live poker : Duh?

[bodie]

Live poker is definitely slower and can therefore be boring if you're not getting good hands.
However I would not say your experience was "typical". The fact that you could sit down, make mistakes, give tells (according to you) and still be so much better than everyone else tells me that you had a great night! Those are the fun times when you happen to find a table of players that you can easily beat.
But it doesn't mean that all live play is like that.
I'm glad you left ahead, though.
