INITIAL VIEW OF THE ROOM
When you walk into a large cardroom for the first time, it can appear chaotic.
The noise and the people can be disorienting.
Relax; it’ll soon just be part of the scenery for you.
Most poker rooms have a railing that separates the playing area from the waiting area of the cardroom.
Don’t stand right next to a table unless the rail separates you from it, and don’t stand directly behind a player.
It bothers some players.
The particular procedure involved in getting into a game are not standardardized-they vary from room to room.
In this chapter I give you an idea of what to expect, but the specifies depend on the room.
Don’t hesitate to ask a cardroom employee if you are unsure of a procedure.
