First live game
Going to the closest casino that offers poker to my house on friday, to play some 2-5 nl. Iv played live with my friends obviously, but never for any significant amount. I play 1-2 and 2-4 nl games online, and have enough of a roll for this to be a safe attempt.
I was hoping for some advice or tips for my first trip. What are the mian differences between live and online play, Thanks, ahnuld |

It isn't in the least bit funny or clever. In fact it's sad that you bothered to reply in that manner at all. This was a real question I had and I'm sure you are very capable of posting something that would be of use to me. So instead of posting garbage like you did above, please do not post at all. |

I speak for many when I say that stupid questions deserve stupid answers. What makes you think that your question is appropriate in the Mid-, High-Stakes PL/NL Forum? So you're asking for generic tips on how to win at live play? Well, it's a lot like online poker, except you won't see as many hands per hour, players regularly make "standard pf raises" with questionable hands (like AJo), and it's easier to pick up on other players' tells. You'll just have to get a feel for it yourself. If you're asking for generic advice on how to play live poker, try writing your post in the General and/or B&M Cardrooms forums. |

Re: Ahnuld
First off ..Richie ..this is hardly a stupid question. the guy is just asking for some tips on his first trip to the casino poker room ...what is stupid about that. Secondly, wouldn't you agree that sarcasm is one of the things bringing down the forum...just a thought
i stopped playing online about a month or so ago and only play in casinos now. I think your best option is to play premium cards (in position) for a while until you feel comfortable and then move into your normal style. I can assure you that if you are playing any level no limit you will have atleast one pro at your table perhaps more. The table i usually play at has atleast 1 or 2 every session. I enjoy playing with them and learn alot. (and yes i usually try to stay out of their way) good luck and keep us posted. |

"you'll see more tells in a live game"..."live games feel a little different. it will take some getting used to"....I suppose somebody may say "beware of shaking hands, it means they got a monster!"....definitely the best advice though was "there will be some pros at your table" But more importantly, i believe the post is in the wrong forumn....I believe this would be a better post for the B&M forum. And Ahnuld has a bad habit of posting in the wrong forum....But whatever [ QUOTE ] Secondly, wouldn't you agree that sarcasm is one of the things bringing down the forum...just a thought [/ QUOTE ] No, sarcasm is funny. I like sarcasm. What brings down the forumn is crappy posts and crappy replies |

Re: First live game
expect standard opening raises of at least 5xBB and smaller post-flop bets proportional to the pot, obviously attributable to the lack of a constantly updated digital readout of the pot size

What are the mian differences between live and online play, [/ QUOTE ] The main differences? I find that the live games I go to tend to be looser. In addition, you can pick up certain vibes, tells, reads and body language from players that will help your decisions. Garland |
