Play BJ only if you know basic strategy...with 6 to 8 decks (which is the norm) the house only has a 1.5% advantage over you. You can buy a basic strategy card at most casinos and you are usually allowed to have it at the table with you to refer to...If you are in California...then don't play BJ...even if you are a professional cardcounter the No Bust games are difficult to beat. Don't play any 6 to 5 payouts and don't play BJ games that use a CSM.

When playing poker the main thing to remember your first time (especially if you have been playing online) is to mind your etiquette...always wait your turn. Alot of online players get used to the automatic action prompts and act too quickly. Also don't be nervous...esp. if you are playing low limits...almost everyone will be playing worse then you. Online limit players tend to be a lot better than live players...live low limit players define the term "live ones." The bulk of my poker earnings come from these super soft low limit games...although I still try to play my best game live its online where I usually have to work hard and play my "A" game.
