Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 940913, member: 23910"] I started playing poker in live bar and home games, not on the net, but my responses are below: 1. When you first visited a casino, did you feel like a fish ( no pun intended) out of water? [B]Oh hell yes - I had no idea what I was doing or what to make of anything.[/B] 2. After studying this like trying to conceal your tells etc. Where you able to put these into practice or did the occasion throw that all out the window. [B]To be honest I didn't really know enough to try, other than "try to keep a straight face"[/B] 3. Where the more experienced players there able to spot the novice in you very quickly. [B]Difficult to say - I remember one particular guy at my first table (it was a $25 rebuy tournament) who I thought was seeing right through me, but it turns out he was one of those doucheballs who commentates on everything at the table trying to show how much he knows. Y'know, the "everyone's a fish but me" types. So chances were if he didn't peg me for a novice he'd have pegged me for a fish or something else, and the end result would've been the same :P[/B] 4. where you able to read the tells of the other players there? [B]Only the very basic and obvious ones[/B] 5. Did or do you prefer it to playing on-line? [B]Hadn't played online (or not much, anyway - can't remember exactly which came first). These days I still prefer playing live, but online has all kinds of convenience advantages going for it[/B] 6. Did you lose or win? [B]I got eliminated a little before the bubble.[/B] 7 And finaly. What was your over all impression. [B]My overall impression was that next time I'd play a freezeout, not a rebuy! Other than that, I went away thinking it wasn't all that scary. I think playing bar games, learning the live rules and getting used to handling cards and chips before I went all helped though.[/B] [/QUOTE]
