I know a place that has free poker tournaments and I would like to start playing there. I have played online for about 2 years so i know the game very well but my live skills are minimal. My boyfriend and I do play headsup often but since it’s headsup i still have questions. I was wondering if there was a good way to remember when it is your turn to act. Also how do i know when i am either the big blind or the small blind? It’s the two people to the left of the dealer button right? Does anyone have any tips on how to know when you are the first to act and when you need to put a blind in. Will the dealer remind you? I don’t want to look like an idiot because I’m already afraid that some guys might try to intimidate me just because I’m a girl. Thanks for any tips
Yes I’m sure i’ve been playing for 2 years. I never really paid attention to the button online because it pops up when it’s my turn to act. I play multiple tables at once so i never really paid much attention to some of the technical stuff

The dealer will guide you through the whole process. You have a great advantage, because you get to play dumb! If you know how to play the game and are confident in your abilities, you should use your inexperience to your advantage. When the dealer guides you through a situation, don’t allow yourself to become embarrassed! Do what you are supposed to do, and you know that you should do, and you’ll be hard to read. The reality is, you will probably lose a lot at the beginning, as most fish do…but your best chance at learning without losing your shirt, is to act as dumb as possible for as long as possible, and own it. Don’t get embarrassed, own your ignorance and it will work in your advantage.

It’s the same as on-line. Are you sure you’ve been playing for two years?
Live uses a dealer button, same as on-line. Person to the left of the button is the same as on-line, next person is the big blind, same as on-line.
And yes, the dealer will remind you to post your blind if you didn’t.
The biggest advice to look like an idiot is to pay attention. Don’t act until its your turn, and know when its your turn.
