My meager piece of advice is, after everyone is dealt their cards, don't look at your cards right away. Instead, watch everyone else as they look at their cards. Don't check yours until it's your turn to act. It's amazing how much information you can obtain this way.

Also, pay close attention to the guys who DO look at them out of turn (especially if they are to act behind you and REALLY if they are in the blinds). Its amazing how many blinds I have picked up because I could tell that the blinds were going to fold before it was even my turn to act.
A couple of other notes...
- Bring a sweatshirt or jacket, its often cold.
- I like to have some kind of hat/hood as I think it helps hide some tells.
- Protect your cards at all times. Either with a chip, card protector or your hand.
- I think for first timers it is good to verbalize everything before you act. It will elimiate alot of mistakes.
