Cash Games when you first sit down

edited September 2013 in Poker Chat
Just wondering, when you sit down at cash tables, initially do you end up losing a bit till you get a grasp of the table? I seem to do this most sessions, although it's not normally as bad as a session i just had.

I sat down earlier with 6 tables open, and i don't know if i go in gung ho, but i always in the first 10-15 minutes, or even longer, losing a bit before i've got a grasp of the table.

It felt like i was down about 4 buyins (that's how it felt at the time) when in reality it was 5 All in's i had lost, only 2 of them where i was stacked, the other 3 the opponent had way less, so i was only topping up for £1-£2.

After about 15-20mins, it seems like i'm more comfortable and most times by this point i'm better able to influence the table, an dictate to a large extent what's happening and hardly ever get re-raised, when you know it's an easy fold.
