I think playing the majority of your poker behind a computer screen doesn't quite prepare you for the B&M experience.
All your tells are hidden online. Offline, live play veterans will see right through your bluffs and know when you have a great hand. Online play teaches you very quickly about betting patterns and how they relate to hand strength, but picking up others and hiding your own tells will only come with hours of B&M play. |

Well, I don't really see how a pro could tell if I was bluffing or not if I was the same way every time. I think the best way around giving off any tells is to first wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and also to bet and then simply look down at the ground with your arms at your sides. Tell me how someone will get a tell from that?

Well they wouldn't. But what I'm saying is that without practice, you may be giving away tells you yourself are not even aware you're doing. Some people can pick up on even subtle nuances that cannot be hidden by sunglasses, etc.
We all have tells. While you may be quite good at masking them, my hunch is that there are some people who would be able to read you quite well. Of course, I could be wrong about you in particular, having never played with you. I'm merely speaking of the general internet-only player. |

I just went and played live for the first time in Vegas. I did so much research on table etiquette. I can't imagine what I'd do if I were to play in a WPT event or some such thing. Not that I pretend to be good enough right now, but it would intimidate the hell out of me.

Twitching, I don't twitch
 .All I am trying to point out is that if you can get past the nerves, then do all these things in the same manner. I play relatively emotionless when I play, regardless of what I hold or what stakes and who I am playing. My buddies actually tried to claim they knew when I was bluffing once. How I don't know, because I made a promise to myself to in fact not bluff one the entire session. Anyway, guess I should let them think that, they consistently pay me about $40 a session, so it pays for my beer and pizza.

True, but that can be a great false tell at the same time. I've used that to win many a heads-up pot against people underestimating "the college kid who's in over his head". Especially when an obvious draw hits....

Take the Time
I would take the time to go to the local Foxwoods, etc, or some casino and get some live play performance. It could only help when I finally hit the big game!

Im Perfect
I would be perfect live.. I am too stupid to know if I have a good hand, so I would give off Monster Hand Tells when I had TPTK and everyone would fold!
