ive played online for the past few months, with a profit of 350$ from 2 initial deposits of 20$

but now i want to play live, im wondering if you could shed some light on anything useful, tips, advice, warnings, preperation?, anything at all, i plan on going to either Casino Niagra, or Fallsview resort, but im leaning towards casino niagra because of the 1/2 blinds.

thanks in advance

i was the opposite started playing live then went online, the biggest difference you will find imo is the games are a lot slower, you'll see at min half the hands you would see in the same time period.

200NL live is about the same skill-level as 5NL online. But you might want to consider building a bankroll first so you can stand the swings - you can easily loose two or three buy ins even if you should crush those tables.

You should take those casino gamblers, donks and sunglass douchebags to value town every single time you hit it. Also, dont be afraid to use your position to your advantage and pwn those loose limpers.
