Live games are much easier than online at similar stakes.

But you should prepare. Read what a string bet is and don't do it. Also remember that throwing one chip off even very large value is just a call unless you say you raise. Therefore before you feel confident always say you call or raise.

Also try to remember your pocket cards and don't check them. It's such a common tell when two hearts hit a board and someone check their cards. They are on a draw.

Get friendly with the dealer.

Remember that live play is slow so be patient and fold a lot.

Play with faking your tells. Try quick raising with a bluff or thinking a long time before calling with nuts and see how that works out.

Try to learn to quickly count the pot and remaining stacks. You can always ask the dealer to do it but you should do it alone.

Learn to observe the players. You will be too excited to observe all but at lest observe the two behind you (guys you steal blinds from) and two before you (guys who steal your blinds). Try to remember their betting patterns.

Have fun.
