Re: From the internet to live play -- Giving off tells?
Get sunglasses.
Players will stare you down for minutes on end in a crucial hand. When they're not looking at you they will be salivating over your chips.
As a novice live player I was looking at my cards before it was my turn to act because I wanted to be thinking about my play as the betting goes around the table. Everytime I looked up from my cards I could see 1/4 of the table was staring at me. I stopped looking at my cards in advance when we got short handed. If you plan to do this, make sure that your action is the same for hands you intend to play and hands you intend to fold. In hindsight I think they were just trying to protect their blinds from loose raises (steals). Act in turn: I saw the player to my left move for his chips just before I was going to move for mine.
