Depends on the room and the table. You might want to watch a little before you sit so you get a feel for "normal" pre-flop raises.

As for tipping, I tip $1 for smaller pots, and $2 or $3 if the pot gets bigger. Dealers don't get as many hands in NL vs Limit... Of course if you just win the blinds no tip is necessary.

The biggest difference live vs on-line for me was keeping a running count of the pot to be able to figure pot odds, implied odds, and looking at other players stacks to see what they've got (that will soon be yours).

Have fun!!!
