depends on the limits you're playing live:
anything under $200 buy-in (this includes limit up to about 5/10 and NL 1/2) you'll have 5 or 6 guys who learned everything they know from mike sexton and vince vanpatten, 1 or 2 newbie type grinders who have somewhat of a clue, and 2 or 3 absolute retards.
anything over 5/10 up to about 40/80 and $500+ buy in NL&PL you'll start seeing more decent players, maybe 4 or 5, and less retards, usually not more than 1 at a table. you'll also start encountering GOOD players, again maybe 1 or 2 at a table. Any more than that and just find a different game.
40/80 and up is usually 5 or 6 really solid players, 1 or 2 people taking a shot at a higher limit (they've either been running well at lower limits or just made a score somewhere else in the casino), 1 or 2 total nits who play only the nuts and lose about 2BB per session, and the occasional donk.
anything over 75/150 I don't know much about, my small sample of 300/600 HOSE included a lineup of gus hansen, an underage d'agostino, and matasow. Gus spewed chips for about 2 hours and matasow let him know he was spewing chips for 2 hours.
The best games live are the 2 and 4 chip games (4/8 limit 10/20 limit [the 4 and 8 chip games like 8/16 and 20/40 are even better if they spread them]) the pots look huge because every bet on the later rounds is 4 chips, you could put in almost a rack of chips on 1 hand! these games are almost always looser than the 1 and 2 chip games (2/4, 5/10, 25/50). Sit me in any 4/8 game over 5/10 anytime.
