Ive only played in home games and online, and ive been playing both since 99 but Im worried about making mistakes playing at the casino. like counting my checks wrong or playing outta turn or something.

are mistakes pretty common at casinos.?

dealer makes mistakes from time to time...especially if they're tired. players make mistakes too...more often at the low stake table. one time i mucked a flush against 2 pairs then realized it later.

just play the low stakes and let everyone know you are new to live play... this way they will tolerate you being a little slow plus they might give you a little more action... in a couple hours you will be into the flow and it won't be any big deal...

also, live games are typically way looser then online so play like a rock and you will typically clean up at the low stakes...

Don't be intimidated, not really that hard. First time I played in a casino I folded most of my hands, only played the premium ones. Good strategy, and lets you get a feel about the semantics of live play. I've seen people make mistakes, but no one really cares cause they are too busy playing their own hands.
