I am new to playing...at brick and mortar casinos. I was a member of this site awhile back but forgot the username, and emai I had registered with. Previously I had been learning to play tight aggressive positional poker online. I was just becoming profitable playing 4 tables when disaster struck. I live in Washington State and online gambling was made illegal. I have been hesitant to try my hand at B&M casinos because I am not that confident in my ability to mask physical tells. Recently my wife talked me into trying my hand at a local casino. So far it has not gone well, but I am pretty sure I played well. Lost my stack to a bad beat last night. (played AJs from the button, flopped a set of jacks and got beat by Kings full of Jacks.) Part of me is saying thats just the way it goes, and wants to chalk it up to swings/variance/whatever else you wanna call it. But another part of me is questioning whether I need to rethink my play style for B&M play. Before that last hand I was up to almost double the $100 I bought in with, but I haven't played nearly enough hands to say whether that was a fluke or not. I am hoping some of you more experienced player can lend some advice before I go losing a bunch of money with a losing strategy.

My question is, would the same style of play that was proving profitable online be profitable in a brick and mortar casino? If not; what would be good resources for learning to play live games for fun and profit? Or would I just need a couple tweaks to the online strategies?



Nevermind, ignore thispost please. The third time I was reading through the newby FAQ, I found the "New to Brick and Mortar Casinos?" post.
