Waiting for the BB - ok?

[Daniel Magix]

Just a newb question about live B&M play. I searched, but couldn't find the answer...

When sitting down as a new player at a Limit table - does it matter if I post the BB right away or wait for the BB to get to me? I'd rather wait for the BB, but I also don't want to be looked at like a nit or anything by waiting.

waiting is fine

Waiting is fine, but it's best if you don't make it look like you're waiting. If you have a couple hands it's not a big deal, but if you're going to wait 5 or 6 hands go have a walk around, go to the bathroom quickly, etc rather than sitting there for 10-15 minutes looking like a nit.

I think jumping right in can give off a good vibe to the table, if any are noticing that is.

If anyone is noticing, they'll think you're a sucker if you jump right in. Might be worth sacrificing a BB if that's the image you want to portray.

If you want to wait, then wait.

I don't walk around when I wait, either. I watch my soon-to-be opponents to see how they play.

I'll post in the cutoff or one-off the cutoff. Otherwise generally I wait.

The people I love are the ones who post UTG/UTG+1 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Unless I can post as the cutoff, I'll almost always wait until the BB. Watching for four or five hands that you're not involved in can provide good information for later.

Be a Supernit and wait till the Button passes.
