that is cool man, good luck vs those noobs

Hiya, good luck in the tourney of course. If you haven't got much live experience, most important thing to realize is that live play can be quite boring at times. You can easily just fold for quite a while being card and also 'spotdead'. I think this can always go both ways, for some this is a good thing as they will focus more on reads and figuring out their opponents while not in the hand themselves, but others (usually live online regs) will start playing way too many hands 9 handed just because they want to play hands.

My advice would be to try and assemble some reads on most of your players on the table while you're not in hands, just looking out for any obvious live tells / betsizing etc.

Also, please do not wear sunglasses =) I can't begin to describe how much I hate people wearing sunglasses in a regular casino. The only reason you sometimes see this on tv is that the lights / cameras can be annoying to the eyes. In actual casino's here in the UK I maybe see 1% with sunglasses, and pretty much everyone laughs at them.

Perhaps there are also some threads on 2p2 that have any info, I tried looking for one nice thread about common things you see while playing live but can't find that one any more. Maybe there is something in here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/27/brick-mortar/

Good luck and post results / interesting hands please

Actually here I found some good tips although it's not the same thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/27/.../staying-focused-1-2-nl-live-1185668/

Just quoting one comment from it as I believe it's the best tip - this really works well to stay focussed imo:

"Pick out one player at your table. Study him for an orbit. Still pay attention to the action and other players, but concentrate on him.
then choose someone else next orbit.
rinse, repeat."

Please don't wear lp/stars shirts or sunglasses.
Actually there is one good reason to wear it , you'll look like a fish , but also like a douche

I've played a lot of hand live but unfortunally , I've played only 2-3 mtts (I suck at mtt )
I can't think of any useful advice except maybe when you're involved on a big hand and it's not your turn think about something else ^^
and count mentally the pot size , you don't want let them to know that you try to figure out the odds when you are drawing (You can do reverse tell with that shit though)
Don't bluff much and vbet thin , they are huge station most of the time.
Most of the time when they snapshove river and look super confident , they're bluffing (it can be reverse tell , or someone who can't manage his emetion , so be careful )
One more thing when it looks that they don't give a fuck , they're polarised , nuts or air.

gL man take em down, take your time, find your targets and own them, avoid playing pots with regs out of position for the most part;

you got this!

v nice, glgl in it man


hopefully the live poker pros can help

ur probably gonna start out deeper then in ur online tournaments, so take alot of flops and try to stack those donks and dont build pot in unecessary spots/dont bluff to much

"small ballpoker" or what ever the livedonks call it

thats my feel from livetourneys, and those have been 5k$ tourneys and live people are still retarded, guess they are gonna be superbad at 300$ ones

ty ppl much appreciated!
