dont shuffle chips or talk about hands ever at the table. just play and talk social stuff.
dont stare but carefully watch all shuffles and cuts. and dont lose too much.
ask about the rules and who makes the decisions . and house customs.
good luck.
Thanks, some good tips there. At what stakes would you say it's imprudent for the players to bring that much cash to a game? Like if the person running the game said "oh, it's an $X/$2X limit game, people normally bring $Y to the game".
I'm talking just like a regular home game or office game with no security. I only play in small home games, because it just doesn't seem that it's worth the risk to play in something mid to high stakes. If you know everyone and they're playing on paper and can settle outside, then that's fine, but at some point too much cash becomes an issue.
