Dov, I'm playing mostly at PokerStars. Usually on the Micro-table Ring Games, tournies and $3 Turbo SnGs. I believe that the Aussie Millions starts in the middle of January.

You will probably find that the dealing and play is quite slow (compared to online). I hope that you are watching a lot of the WSOP DVDs to get a feel of how the cards run and the people play. Here are some suggestions/pointers (non-poker).

Bring a drink and some food to the table.
Scheduled Breaks turn the bathrooms into a madhouse (scope out other bathrooms beforehand).
Bring along a IPOD or radio to help pass some time.
Bring along some dark sunglasses (to avoid giving Tells)
Stay away from alcohol.
Use something (Lucky Marker or some poker chips) to cover your cards, if you are still in a hand.

Play at a live table if you can before the big tournie.
Sit at either end of the table, so that you can see all the action in front of you without turning your head.
Have fun and Goodluck
