thinking of playing my first B&M no-limit cash game next weekend.. just have a few questions,

i understand you can't take $$$$$ off the table. but if the wait is fairly short, can you leave the table and get another one 15 minutes later (for example)??? obviously if you have to wait a few hours, it's a different story.

In most rooms if you table change you HAVE TO come to the new table with the same you left with. Ratholing should be aoived. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

any reason to buy in for more than the minimum (say 5/5 100-400 min-max).

[/ QUOTE ]

The amount you buyin for is determined by your evaluation of your skill versus the other players skill. You want to cover players that are not as skilled as you, and be covered by players that are more skilled than you.

can i buyin for more chips at any time between hands????

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on the room. Most will allow you to "top off" your stack to the max buy-in at anytime. Other rooms require you to drop below a certain level before rebuying.

Just keep in mind that as soon as you have cards in front of you, the money you are adding does not play until the next hand.

if they charge a time fee, is that in additon to the rake??? anyone know about niagara falls???

[/ QUOTE ]

It is rake OR time, never both.

this is a difficult question: but do bad players get you off you flush straight draws?? is it generally worthwhile to play suited connectors with position??? very table dependent but i'm asking niagara falls (xx) casinos.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes they do. It is rare that you are getting the right odds to draw to one or two outs.

SC's, yes they are worth playing. But frankly this is too deep for the context of this post.

how careful do you have to be about pair of ace with a good kicker??? or is that just so table/board/situation dependent??

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes careful. TPTK is not a long term winning hand in NL play. There are times it is worth a lot, times that it is junk. Only experience is going to tell you rather it is good or not in any one hand.
