Just relax and take your time. If you mess up, the dealer will correct you. Enjoy the experience and play tight so you can observe how others are playing at the table.

offen each casino has a rule book for poker, read that when you first walk in. some places, like where im from theres an over the line , if more then one chip goes over the line, lets say a stack in your hand then they will stay in , or no cells while in hand or no cards past rail or dead stuff like that , if you read that you should be fine. Every casino has slightly different rules and its usually on just one page of paper. I remember i have won full pot 7ral times where i wasn't suppost to before because they did't take the time to read the rule book.

One time guy had floped quad 7 and he was showing his hand to someone past the rail with it the card went on floor and house called it dead. and i won the pot and won the live mtt too , this was 7 handed .

another time i won a pot because guy didnt flip over his cards and dealer muched his cards. I flopped a strait but rivered 2 pair said i have a strait flipped over my card and he didnt relize i was playing the board

third time was when i was in a 200$ pot and one of the guys was showing his hand to other players while in hand and i asked them to muck his hand because that was not allowed , of corse this was after about the third time he did it and already reseaved his warning , house made his hand dead and I took the pot. I would do this because it would throw them off thinking im messing with him and sometime people need to learn a lesson. I did it to 7ral people saying thats not allowed and only one time did they decar someone hand dead.

I've never played live. But I think that, you just need to play as always online. Is that not to show their emotions.

My first big real tournament was in Vegas at Ceasar Casino, 125$ buy-in...I was stressed as hell but all in all, I had great fun, wonderful experience!

just be calm and chill with the other players...have fun and take some 1 or 2 drinks along the way ^^

I have some family that works at the casino I will be going to, while I couldn't be on the floor I did get out and walk around some along with watching some of the games through a window

I recently started playing live poker the casino too (turned 21 pretty recently). I definitely messed a few things up like not tipping the dealer at all and acting out of turn once or twice. Pretty much everyone is gonna know ur new to live poker in a casino and its not a big deal. Dont let it take up too much of your focus.
