I'm about to play at a club for the first time after about 4 years of playing online poker and cash live with friends. Do you have any advice for me as a first-timer?

I also like to play live with people and would play live all the time if I had more time but now I don't have enough time and I play online just take your time because in a live tournament you will play even fewer hands than online poker and the game will be very long. Try not to show your anxiety and emotions because it is very visible when you look at cards don't show your emotions

"Just don't..."—Things to do/not do at the table
After spending 200-300 hours (9 bracelet events and 2 dailies) at the poker table over my 3 different weeks at the WSOP this summer, many of them with the same players for 6-12 hours, I was subconsciously compiling a list of really annoying things that players did... not just once but over and...

You have to always be relaxed, not show that you are nervous, and the most important thing is to enjoy the moment, do not get frustrated, on the contrary, try to always be focused on your game and the opponent so that you can make adjustments to your game.

Put on your glasses and keep your emotions under control. Don't drink beer, especially don't drink anything stronger. Play with concentration, take your time, take risks when you have confidence in your chances.
Good luck

I play live at least a couple of times a week and my best advice would be to be yourself and enjoy it. It’s so much more enjoyable than any computer program could ever be imo. Take your time as it usually takes about 8 hours to complete a tournament of 60 players so it’s not like online when thousands drop out in an hour. Best of luck to you!

Each person has a type of behavior, I usually have a lot of patience, observe the behavior of the participants as much as possible, I don't raise the cards, I don't comment on my cards, both when I give up and in the end when I bet, I leave my chips with higher values ahead (psychological issue) I don't like to talk when I'm playing, even when I give up the play, I don't eat either, I don't drink so as not to disturb my concentration and hand analysis

Try to look relaxed and to stay above average, if you're playing MTT. For me, one major difference between live and online poker is that most people check the flop, it is normal, unlike what we learn about c-bets on the flop when playing online. Also, try to look at your cards only once, or when it is your action.
Idk where you're playing, but if there is some loose players just having fun on their happy hour, stay tight and crush them when you really have something.
My biggest issue when going to a poker house is that Idk when to stop, it's like we get more frustrated when loosing at a live game than online, that we are used to it; so I always end up doing rebuys, addons and such, even when it means spending more than I should. That said, always analyse when it is really worth to keep buying chips.

In live poker, when it comes to strategy, playing styles and basic knowledge, they are the same as in online poker and cash games with friends. Try to stick to your playing style, carefully choose the range of starting hands, do not enter the game with garbage hands, and at least approximately calculate the outs and pot odds in order to know whether it is profitable for you to call other people’s bets or raises. The gameplay itself is slightly different in live poker from the types of poker you have played before, but everything else remains the same.

The dealer runs the table.
Make sure you tell the dealer clearly and loudly what your intentions are....call....raise....fold.
I also recommend saying the amount you want to bet out loud instead of putting chips over the line without saying anything.
Good luck !

Yeah, the plan is like the last 2 years. 3 separate 1-week periods. FYI, I had a big score last summer in the Seniors. 59th of 8190. $1000 --> $13,600
