this also means all who have made it it big/qualified to large live events after playing online and/or who play online and live side-by-side, etc.
yes, im calling on TP and a few others to help provide the rest of us with some pointers that intrigue me, for instance:
1) on the most basic level, how difficult was it for you, and how long did u get over dealing with actual physical stuff, such as the chips, and, most important, having to keep track of the stack/pot/bet sizes at all times on ur own? can u ask the dealer to count the stack/pot/bet for u at all times or is that bad etiquette (if u 'overdo' it)?
2) r u obliged to count ur stack if an opponent asks (a favorite 'hassling' technique of many ppl, esp the pros) or can u just silently point to the dealer?
3) after 'mastering' the game online, so to speak, how easy/difficult did u find playing live? did u find 'reading' ppl face-to-face easy/ier or quite the opposite?
4) did u find sunglasses useful at all and, if yes, why? to shield from the lights/cameras/misc glare and/or to contain 'tells'?
5) can u keep/read/write notes in/from a small notebook while at the table? (not while ur involved in a hand, of course)? (i know this is very important to me!
)
thats all i can think of for now, but ill be sure to edit in more stuff later. anyone else, pls post ur own questions here. i know the big sites hold seminars on these things for the live event rooks before the WSOP/WPT shows, so why not take advantage of our own forum 'pros' here and their experience?
