Live dealer poker: does anyone actually play this or just blackjack and roulette

I keep seeing the live poker tables, but every time I check in, they’re pretty much ghost towns compared to how packed blackjack and roulette always are. Feels weird since there’s a ton of hype around Texas Hold’em everywhere else, but maybe live dealer just isn’t the format for it? Or maybe the pace just drags compared to auto-dealt or video poker, especially if you’re not sitting in the casino physically. Blackjack and roulette always seem to have the crowds and quick turnover, and I admit that’s what pulls me in half the time.

I’m mostly just into slots and sometimes I’ll hit blackjack for a change, but live poker gets my curiosity sometimes. Are people actually playing these tables, or are they just there for decoration? Wondering if I’m missing something or if it’s just one of those games nobody actually touches. Anyone in here actually play live dealer poker, and what’s the appeal if you do?
