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 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.
