Make sure you listen closely. Many casinos have different rules concerning cash and tournament rules, and some casinos even have different rules for cash games and tournaments in the same card room. Pay specific attention to chip rules as these are generally the ones that will mess a new player up. To be safe, only cross the "betting line" with chips you intend to bet. Many casinos do not allow you to cross line, then "cut off" chips, so you will be forced to bet all chips in your hand. I have found for new players that it is easier to just always state your betting intentions verbally prior to even touching your chips so that your verbal actions are binding and no mistakes you make in chip handling will effect your play.
