I only saw one, and I'm not sure his IQ could drop too much lower and still be able to turn on a computer.
Oh, and my own live tip of the day - it's not a tell if the person is doing it all the time. I had an older guy next to me tell me after a hand that I was bouncing my leg up and down, which was true, and that I should be careful not to give away information. What he apparently didn't realize until he decided to look for a "tell" is that I bounce my leg roughly 80% of the time when my feet are flat on the floor, and have ever since I was a kid (touch of hyperactivity FTW). I was doing it AS HE WAS TELLING ME ABOUT MY TELL 2 MINUTES AFTER THE HAND WAS OVER. I'm sure I probably have tells when I play live (something I work on every time I play), but that's not one of them.
Even recreational players can develop a "feel" for certain circumstances and players (I've bluffed players off hands based on my read as well), and no credible poker pro would discount the importance of developing this skill as one of many to improve their game if they spend any significant time playing live.
