Absolutely. Also good would be to set aside a separate bankroll for your live poker. I have a wad of benjamins in my room that I keep just for playing live, nothing else. This way it hurts a lot less when I lose a few of them; I wasn't going to spend them on anything anyways. I know what you mean about being scared to lose a couple bills from your wallet; even if you have the money elsewhere, it still hurts when you lose everything that's with you. Creating a separate roll helped me manage money and detach myself from the results just as well as I do online.

I disagree with this one. If NL is your game, just stick to NL.

-Stop by the bar and have a couple beers before playing (I know this might sound ridiculous to some, but in my home game I’ve found I play much better poker after having a couple in me)

Sounds okay to me. I always get the jitters when I play live, even though I've probably put in about 50+ sessions at this point (which I know isn't that much really, but you'd think the jitters would have gone away by now). So sometimes I drink to make myself more comfortable and to have more fun. Because really, when I'm playing live, I'm there to have a good time.
