I've been playing poker in casinos and elsewhere for a very long time. I don't mean to offend anyone but the problem with online poker and especially the craze that TV poker started is that people that play or watch it on TV actually think that they can play for real. Please if you don't think you are really ready, don't sit at a casino table. Nothing irritates poker players more than someone who isn't ready or doesn't know what they are doing sitting down and screwing up a game or worse yet a tournament. Try sitting in on some low limit games to get your feet wet. That way you can learn and if you screw up someone elses game, they won't be losing that much.Good Luck and have fun.
