Hello.

Play plenty of stt's in the early stages make sure they are cheap to enter, avoid cash tables early on,and make notes of hands you win and lose with and how you play them and try to learn from yr mistakes but as the saying goes Poker takes a minute to learn but a lifetime to master.

Personally i read quite a few books early on and some are good some are bad depends on your style which only you can dictate.

If pushed on advice I'd say play tight and when yr in on a hand try to put your opponent on a hand and keep trying surprisingly you can get it spot on especially if you  play the same people regularly even when yr not in on the hand try and put all the other  opponents on a hand rather than aimlessly watching as the only info you get is when you actually see their cards.

Good Luck

Having said all that...it's wonderfull, isn't it? Anyone who can not learn from watching someone else play poker is himself someone who will never understand the game. You can learn what not to do from a poor player just as well as you can learn how to play well from a good one..as long as you think about why they do what they do

I think this is correct

I've been playing a fair few friendly live games and feel that this has been the most educational. I have been playing with people of a variety of standards, really paying attention and also getting a kind of summary or analyisis off the more experienced players after many hands.
