Re: Playing B&M poker like a scared little girl.
Hey, I only started playing in casino's (primarily Foxwoods in CT) a year ago but I remember how intimidating it is to walk in that first time. My advice is to get there earlier than you would like to start playing. Take an hour or so and just walk around the card room, getting a feel for the atmosphere and watching a table or two trying to work on your game selection.
I think a problem a lot of people have with B&M is that they spend an hour or so in a stuffy car, so that when they finally get to the casino they are just aching to play. This is the wrong attitude. I am sure that when you are playing online at home you are not worried about your bankroll and how much you will win/lose but are mostly concerned with how well you play.
This can be translated into casino play as well.
You had a good idea of moving down limits in order to get a better feel for casino play. But, if you are not a limit player I suggest trying a smaller nl game first. (the 1-2nl at foxwoods is laughable and it'll give you a sense of the competition you can expect)
I hope things work better for you the next time you try B&M.
