My experience with live games generally is that players are more likely to be "calling stations", checking down if they can but also calling bets with questionable holdings. Obviously this will vary from locale to locale, but compared to online that's my experience. Playing tight/aggressive and value betting your holdings works nicely.

I'm assuming that this is at a casino. They have a pretty decent sized tourney at the pub by my house and the players there are horrible. I've won it 2 times and made top 5 all the other times except one.

Saw ALOT of that Saturday at my home game. In fact, the gentleman that won made quite a few qustionable calls that came out in his favor. But, a lot of us know now what he will call for the next time we play!!
