| First time playing in a casino I recently went to a live card room for the first time a couple months ago and thought I'd share the experience... My buddies got me to go down the the Seminole Hard rock with them on my 19th birthday and I had some disposable income at the time so I decided to go. Got there and we got seated at the smallest NL table they had. $1/$2, so I would have to say I was really nervous. Not only was it my first time being there but I've never played anything over .25c/.50c. If that wasn't enough, I ended up getting the last seat left on the table which left me with a guy on my left who had about 10 times the table maximum sitting in front of him. So I sat down with my measly $50 dollars and saw a few hands but didn't really get too involved because these guys had been raising and reraising each other like crazy. When I finally got a hand I ended up losing half my stack when my flopped straight got beat out on the river by a full house. So then comes the good part...not as in winning any chips but avoiding losing the rest of my stack. The guy sitting next to me kept thinking I already folded and in turn went to muck his cards showing them to the table...AA's. I caught myself as I started for my chips to make a raise and he showed. So I probably dodged a few there. All in all I ended up with a low of $16 dollars. Luckily within the next few hands I caught some cards and ended back up to $64. I decided to stop there as all my friends had lost their stacks already. I think I played so bad because I was so nervous...since going back to play some $125 SnG's I haven't had a problem...just first time jitters I guess. Anyone else had a nervous experience the first time they went to a casino? and sorry this post is so long I just need to do some posting to catch up to you 1000 post people |

| Ohhh that was the casino I played 7 stud at every year on vacationand loved. I used to go there when it was just the seminole indiana reservation casino(always funny middle of tampa on orient ave, but still reservation casino lol). Havn't been there in about 5 years, was funny cause last time I was there a bunch of us tried to get a nl holdem table going cause noone had really tried it yet, the craze was just catching on. Another funny thing is since playing online I started hearing some noise on bankroll management and to think I would go in there with 50 bucks and play the 1/2 stud tables and always walk away with a profit. Tried that online for the first year or so and it never seemed to work out. |

All the bars and stuff were on raised platforms with people standing there checking ID's so I guess thats why you only have to be 18 in the cardroom...tho they they did server drinks at the tables. |

I have just started playing live B&M poker, but our local casino only does tournaments at the moment... 60% B&M rake - is this reasosnable? |
