If this is your very first time, you will feel very different. It will be a new experience handling chips and making your actions clear. There will be distractions: background noise, stuff to look at, the chatty guy next to you, etc. You will get the hang of it quick enough, but you will feel like a rookie for a bit. There is a real chance that this will affect your play, simply because there is all sorts of sensory input that you don't have playing online.

Another thing I find is that many people somehow feel that chips are more like money than clicks online. Actually tossing chips in the pot can sometimes be harder.

None of this is to say that playing B&M is harder than playing online, it is just different. Don't underestimate the effect of the differences your first time out of the gate. Take it slow the first few orbits to get oriented.

One last thing: you should tip. You don't have to do that online.
