Good advice. I have noticed in other people and myself that after a whole day of anticipation it is very easy to join the game in a 'gambling mood'. We all need to be aware of that and tighten up a bit with the goal of having higher odds of winning the first hand we play. It really helps to start the session with a win.

Another observation;
There is a long list of players waiting to get into the game. Most of these player have been waiting for an hour. Finaly the house decides to start a new game by filling the table with these players on the list. Be careful, the first half-hour the chips will be flying because of the 'gambling mood' caused by the anticipation. If you get good cards you can clean up. Otherwise, dont'n join them in their loose play. Fold and wait for the looseness to settle down. It will not take long.

Alan, have you noticed this?
