(LC) Looking for some live poker advice
 

Going to play some live poker tonight on a table of about 9 ro 10 people. Most really don't know how to play (some will limp JQo UTG). I am just looking for some basic advise because I realize live poker and SNGs are quite different...

Should I expect them to respect a check/raise? how should I play post flop? should I limp with raggy hands to see what flops?

Is it a sng or a cash game? If it's a sng, just play it the same as a 5+1 or 10+1.

are you playing a nl tourney? or limit cash? the questions you're asking basically amount to "how do i become a better poker player?"

Re: (LC) Looking for some live poker advice
 

what do you need to know? If you know how to play poker then play poker. Just play tighter and dont bluff the unbuffable.

yeah i figured i was being way too vague. we are playing a NL tournament. All i wanted to know was if there are any poker moves that pertain only to live games and have no use in online games.

Poker moves? Probably not. If you're a big guy, you could however, threaten to kick their ass if they call. Moves like that don't work online.

hahaa... ok well i guess this was a pointless post. hopefully i don't get sucked out on tonight. thanks for the replies.

When I play live SNGs, the main thing that I pay attention to is the total number of chips in play and my exact number of chips. That way, I can make all my decisions just like I'm playing online.

Other than that, as has already been said, I pay close attention at the beginning (you know, when we're hardly playing any hands) to see who the calling stations are. Find out who the unbluffable players are.
