Re: Time for first B&M trip?
Being a college student, I'm assuming you aren't exactly wealthy (believe me, I know what that's like). If losing a couple of hundred bucks won't kill you, then yes it's a good idea. If you are consistantly beating .50/1 and 1/2 online, you'll probably do just fine anyway. Just be sure you understand that even the best player in the world will lose his buy in a decent percentage of the time.
You should expect terrible play. Lots of people limping with hands like 94s from EP and cold calling raises with QTo. You'll have a lot less chances to bluff, as many players will call you down with almost any pair. I really don't think this is any different that the .50/1 and 1/2 tables on Paradise though, so you should be used to it.
Read or reread the section from HEFAP on loose games. If you even know the title of any 2+2 book, you'll be better off than most of the low limit players in a typical casino.
