Message: [QUOTE="LarkMarlow, post: 1522515, member: 57665"] If you're nervous about playing live for the first time, one thing you can do is go to the poker room some day or evening and just observe for an hour or so. Don't play; just watch. If you have any questions, ask the floor managers-they'll be very cordial and helpful because they want you for a customer. You can learn a lot this way without the pressure of playing and when you return to play you'll at least be somewhat familiar with procedure, the layout of the room and customs (average tip given to the dealer, that sort of thing). Speaking of questions, when you [I]do[/I] sit down to play live don't hesitate to ask the dealer if you are not clear about something. Other players are generally willing to answer questions too--they get a chance to show off their knowledge and also they want to keep fresh blood at the table :). [/QUOTE]
