I just thought it was standard to wait to look. I'm only 20, never been in a cardroom before, though. I'd be interested to hear the consensus on this.

Standard for whom? The whole theory behind waiting is to not give away too much information while getting as much information as you can. As stated, if you wait until the action is on you, everyone else will be looking when you squeeze. Check your cards when the action is a couple players before you and act promptly. You gather far more information in the hands you're not playing. Don't slow down the game. People are trying to give you money.
