1. you want to sit down with a comfortable amount of chips, if there is a max there, then buyin for the max. my B&M does not have a max on 3/6 limit.

2. always watch your soon-to-be table, spot the fish, and spot the talent.

3. i always just sit down and if the blind is close ill wait, but if its farther away then ill just start playing. there is no opening blind for a newcomer at the table at my local casino.

4. smaller pot=then smaller tip. bigger pot=bigger tip

5. i usually wait for my turn, but it's not a big biggie if you do either

6. misdeals happen just make sure you see the cards.


hope that helps.
