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 rooms have a railing that separates the playing area
from the waiting area of the cardroom. It's often a good
idea to spend a few minutes standing at the rail, just getting
an overview of the room. 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 procedures involved in getting into a game
are not standardized-they vary from room to room. In this
chapter I give you an idea of what to expect, but the specifics
depend on the room. Don't hesitate to ask a cardroom employee
if you are unsure of a procedure.
