Poker Tips Please!?
I am a Texas Hold’em Enthusiast, with a little experience with online play and little small stakes winner take all games. Im going to a small town Poker Tournament and this will be my first tournament experience. Any Tips? Is there any important etiquette I should know? Oh and also , Ive some times seen the blinds go up and then a “Ante” is introduced. Im not familiar with this can someone please explain this concept to me? I am not a total newb but I do lack “in-person” poker playing experience, and fear I won’t be able to keep up. Math in my head is hard 
Regarding etiquette, the most important is not to act out of turn. I know it sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how many people will fold early or push all in with three people to act in front of them. Some players go berserk when it happens, so be sure it’s your turn before doing anything. Another big one is slow rolling. Unless you want your opponent to hate your guts and the rest of the table to think you’re a jerk, turn up your hand when you know you’ve won. Don’t make the other guy think he’s taken down the pot and then pull the rug out from under him, it’s just mean. Announce what you mean to do in a firm voice, whether it’s call, raise, or all in. I played in a tournament a few weeks ago where the guy on my right said everything very, very softly. I was in the BB, it folded around to him in the SB, and he whispered, “I’m in.” I thought he said, “All in”, and mucked. I could have seen the flop for free, but this jerk couldn’t speak loudly enough to be heard. A couple people at my table agreed with me that it was a problem, so avoid doing that. Other than that just be polite and have fun. Remember, you’re not there to make friends, and you’re not there to make enemies. You’re there to make money.
