In live play you have to be very observant. Unlike online play more players watch everyone in every hand, since there aren't as many distractions. You need to be able to control your
hands from shaking and keep a straight face. I cashed in my first live tourney. It was
wsop bracelet event, 1k buy-in with over three thousand players. I made some crazy folds preflop that most wouldn't have. I folded pocket queens, tens, and ace king preflop due to my reads on the table. They were all the right plays since if I had seen any flops with them hands I would have been knocked out and not cashed. You have to trust your gut instinct. My advice to you is practice playing tight solid poker. Build up a good table image, in live play it has a lot to due with your table image compared to online play where most are multitableing. Understand you shouldn`t try to see every flop with marginal hands out of position, so you don't leak chips that you will need when you get a strong hand to protect. Not all hands are winners. Don`t let your pride and emotions get the best of you.
