Math for America Poker Tournament (Jim Simons)

Random question... but has anyone been before? I might be attending this year's event, and was curious what it is like, mostly to make sure I behave the right way if that makes sense. Guessing you don't really chat too much with the big guys? Was just curious what the socializing is like, and if anyone has any stories from their own experiences. I suck at poker so will probably fail out in a few hands. It appears the quants regularly smoke world series of poker players...
