THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Say I sit down at a already live 1/2 NL table. Do I get dealt in automatically? Or do I need to wait until the button comes around to me to play?

Depends on where you play.

Most p,aces make you wait till the blind comes to you.

Aye....but sometimes it seems that unless you're more than 3 people behind the dealer. If you sit in right behind the button, they'll usually let you start playing immediately.

Generally, yep. Is this at a casino or a friends house? The dealer at a casino should let you know....standard procedure at all the casinos I've played at.

The dealer will let you know your options depending on where you sit on the table (meaning position).

At a casino. Last time I played I forgot where I sat at, but I bought the button when I joined the game. Don't really know what that meant but I think I put out three chips (small+big blind in 1/2) and I got the button.

the way i always played was that if you weren't in a blind position you just paid the same as the big blind to start.

I have seen this in some casinos as well.
