Well, the other night me and a couple friends decided to go up to canada for the night. First stop was the casino right across the border. Ive been playing online for a few months and have played in a couple small home games (5 or 6 people). None of my friends really knew how to play poker so I just sat at the blackjack table for awhile until I was up 100 dollars. I decided, what the hell Ill put this 100 down on a 1/2 NL table. Lets just say things didnt go so well. I guess the first thing I was thrown off a bit by was how slow the game went. I am used to the quick hands of online poker and really just started to get impatient. The table was very limp happy so I decided Im sick of playing a TAG game, which I play online. Knowing that the whole table was loose I knew it was a bad idea to start playing LAG against them, but I thought what the hell even if I lose Im not down any money on the night. Well, after only playing maybe 2 hands out of 20 I decide to loosen up and I just started bluffing like crazy figuring I might get some respect if anyone was paying attention to the way I had been playing. No luck, lost it all in about 10 hands, with one bad beat for my last 40 chips.
Anyway, just thought Id let all you online players out there who never played at a casino before that the play is atleast twice as slow as online (atleast the table I was at anyways), so if you dont have a long time to sit down and play, its probably not a good idea to sit down at all, as I have learned the hard way
