I've been playing some .5/1 but mostly 1/2 at local home games with a friend of mine recently. I've been finding at these games,

I've really been playing sub optimally because I'm very new to playing somewhere other then at home. Any tips to getting

comfortable in these games?

Just play more - live play has a whole new set of skills, you need to practice them and get more experience.

Become aware of tells - others and yours - and if you see a tell that another player has, ensure that you don't do it yourself. And read Mike Caros book on Tells.

Quick tip - live players tend to be a lot looser than online players, bear that in mind when bluffing!

I loved playing live much more than on a screen! The atmosphere is great and being able to notice tells from players is very very cool! I think once you get the hang of it you will like it much more!
