Sooner makes good points. I have a poker jacket with a gazillion pockets. Cell phone, sunglasses, MP3, ear plugs, gum (get that stale coffee taste out of your mouth), Rolaids (hey, sometimes...), eye drops, wet naps (wiping your face can wake you up), Advil, and most importantly, BR (inside pocket, with a zipper you don't forget to use).

Play some live small tourneys. Get used to the pace.

Every dealer change, get up and stretch.

Railbird is right (get out, you say): play tight at first, watch, and as you see the names make mistakes, don't excuse them, understand them. I've seen people go through tremendously convoluted thinking to excuse the bad play of name players just because ... I don't know why, they just do. Get your feet wet slowly, and make an honest and fresh appraisal of everyone at the table.

About sunglasses: I sometimes wear them. Sometimes it's glare, sometimes it's defense (if the guys right across from me are all wearing them), sometimes I'm trying to take a nap, sometimes I'm really bearing down on studying someone and don't want to be too obvious. But be aware that sometimes it's a tell, of yourself or others, of a lack of confidence.

And most importantly: don't try TOO hard. Especially, don't be afraid of being bluffed out. Some people say no limit is a bluffer's game. It's more accurate to see it as a fear-of-being-bluffed game.

Good luck, have fun.
