Live poker is so amazing, just for the completely random people/things you will see.
Last night, I:
Got made fun of for being loose (by an old guy who saw 95% of flops, and about 60% of hands to the river)
Got shit talked to me (PF raise, a few callers, I call with 9Ts, flop comes T high. I check-raise on the flop, and the PF raiser goes "Ooooh, I'm not used to playing with professionals like you." I lost the hand (who woulda thought... he had overcards, and then one hit!?) Damn, I got owned that hand ;P
Saw a young gun who came in with an old-school White Sox hat backwards, and shades making 3/4 of his face some weird reddish tinted mass. And there was the black dude who, on the river, raised Mr. Young Gun, and said "you're weak man, I saw it in your eyes."
I love this game. Not to mention, I love straddling six times in low limit games, re-raising preflop and declaring "let's gamble, boys!" and running into pots that are 14 bets before the flop...
Low limit hold'em rules.

my guess would be the Chicago area
I also find it hilarious some of the stuff you run into. Some punk kid told a friend of mine last weekend "Wow, I didn't think you were capable of a check raise." That punk kid didn't have much money at the end of the night.

Snoogins I know you're in my area and I keep looking for you. You shouldn't be hard to spot, because looking at that picture you're a dead ringer for Dolly Brunson.
