OK so I'm 90% certain that I'm going to make a small (20$) initial deposit on full tilt. I do OK with the play chips, I make small but steady increments in the "BR" but i've got a couple nervous Nelly questions.

So from what I can see of the legal side, Banks are banned from making transactions with these online poker rooms but individuals are not. Has anyone ever had any issues taking a cash out check to a brick and mortar bank for deposit? Is this even a reasonable worry?

I've read through a lot of the beginners articles and some of the beginner forum, while some of the lingo and the hand histories seem a little eso-teric I think i'm getting the hang of it. So with the 40$ (20$ + fulltilt match, if I read things right), i'm gonna try my hand at the .05/.10 NL tables. So I guess the 2nd part isn't really a question, more of a wish me luck on not letting myself get tilted after a bad beat and just a general introduction!
