21st - Dare I Request a Discussion of Live Play?

Welp, it's my 21st birthday today, and there's a new-ish casino near my school...

Suffice it to say I'll be paying a visit to the $1/$2 NL tables either Friday or Saturday this week. So, I'll pose this in a really general way: What are some tips, advice, experiences, useful links, anything else on live play? I'm open to everything, seeing as my only live experience is in home and family games.

Remember to tip the dealer when you win a hand.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday and gl at the casino. I've only played live a few times and it was always donkaments.

Thanks guys!!

I'm having a read through of those links now, thanks for doing some easy searching for me ^.^

Good advice in the above links.

Also, since this is your first time, don't be surprised if you're a lot more nervous than you would normally be. I'd played a heap in pub games, home games and online but the first time I went to play in an actual casino I was like a rabbit in headlights.

The feeling will pass with time. Just know that it's pretty common, concentrate on playing your regular game and you'll be fine

Also, here's a post I wrote... dear gawd, over four years ago now... that covers some of the live game rules and other ins and outs that it'll help to know:

Thanks everyone, for the input!!

The dumb thing is that I've already read those old posts - it was probably a couple months ago when I was over-anticipating getting to play live soon
