I have a question about deals in general. If one player refuses to do a deal and the other seven want a deal, would it put that player at a disadvantage when the play continues? Are there tactics that the seven could use to try and eliminate the one player?

Hi Rupert. I've recently switched from chess to poker, and have picked things up quite quickly with a positive return on investment. If you were in my shoes, having only played 2-3 months, what would be the most important things to do to become a better player? e.g. read, watch videos, play more, post in forums etc? Thanks!
