First B&M Visit -- Advice?

[Uncle_Billy]

I was nervous as hell my first time and played like a super nit, until I started seeing the hands people were showing down. You know more than you think. Don't be afraid to ask questions too, given it'll actually help your image... TAG will work provided you limp a couple of times so you don't look like a total tighty - you'll have tons of opportunities to limp a blind level with 6-7 other players.

Raise the standard table amount (try to watch a 1/2 table while you're waiting for a seat to see what people are raising - $15 is what I see as getting at least 1 call). Don't raise 3-4 chips thinking you're doing yourself a favor ending up holding KK against 7 other limpers...

And don't play over your comfort level. I.e., if you can't stand to lose your buyin, don't sit down... or buy in short and do some pushbotting...

And have fun!
