Casino Table Etiquette

Here are a few things, not an exhaustive list or anything.

• my general rule for tipping is $0 for a tiny pot (i.e. raise and take it preflop or limped pot plus c-bet), $1 for a small pot, $2 for a decent-sized pot (i.e. 50 bbs or so), this is playing 1/2 NL.
• if you put one large chip out it counts as a call. i.e. you are playing 1/2, somebody bets 5, if you put out a $25 chip it's considered a call (unless you announce "raise").
• obviously no string-betting, either put multiple chips in with one motion, or announce raise and the amount, and then you can put in the amount of chips needed at leisure
• not sure what your home games are like but do not splash the pot, put your chips out in front of you and the dealer will gather them after the betting round is over
• in general people follow the etiquette that the losing hand at showdown does not show. i.e. if you call somebody on the river, and they say, you got me, then show your hand and they will muck, even though online, and by standard rules, they should show because they were called. Or, they might say "two pair", and if you can beat that, you show. Of course, never muck until you see a better hand shown down.
• if you need to rebuy just put money on the table after a hand and ask for change (also find out if cash plays in that casino)
• if you need change to post your blinds just put out the next lowest denomination chip and the dealer will automatically give you change during the hand
• not exactly "etiquette" but be vigilant about protecting your cards -- you don't want the dealer to grab them by mistake.

If you're confused about something just ask the dealer. Also, there's no shame in folding the first orbit and just observing how the game flows.

Have fun!
