Someone who thinks they know everything about poker is the person I want in my game. Your instincts starting out are to play a lot of hands. While they are important they are also hard to grasp and you can improve your starting game much easier with some simple tips:Fold more. Big pairs good, small pairs baaaaaad. Start out playing what books call the "blackjack hands." Get some esoterics down, too. These are great hands to play, but only after you learn much more about pot odds and number of players in the hand, etc. you also have to control your own tells so that they can not do the same ting to you. You have to really know what you're doing to play them right, so learn a good tip early and wait til you know more to play them. If it's a hand you'd stay with (19s to 21s) in blackjack, play them, fold most of the rest. Odds and such will come with time. You can learn more about the game by watching than by playing too many hands. There are hundreds of poker books out there and numerous sites with instruction and tips. Read, read, read, read! Except in certain circumstances you should learn aggression early and not just be a "calling station" or limp to the blinds. Everyone overplays small pairs in the hole in Holdem and it's a BIG mistake. There's always more to learn.you have to be able to recognize your opponents tells, when they have a good hand and when they are bluffing. Betting is almost always better than limping or calling. Small pocket pairs suck.

You have to know how to read people and their actions and their eyes.
You should be able to count cards and remember what has been played and what hasn't -- of course if you do that and the house finds out, you'll be barred from playing because the house doesn't want you to win.
I'd also take enough courses in Self Defense to become a double black belt and learn firearms and get a gun permit.
Why?
Because traditionally, gambling has been part of organized crime.
That means if you tick someone off, you're likely to be dead.
Also, if you become a gambling addict, the collectors will be after you to cover your losses.
You might want to think about a more honest profession and a less dangerous hobby.

What you really need to know is the hands you should play, and the hands you should lay down. That will win you more chips than any misguided 'reads' you might get off people. In hold'em the hands you should play are pretty limited. Any high pocket pair, down to about 88. High Suited Connectors (i.e. AK, AQ, AJ, maybe KQ of the same suite. And maybe some high unsuited face cards. Normally, its wise to lay down anything else. Consider position carefully as well. The last person to act on a betting round are in the perfect position. So if you are last, you normally have more options. The sooner you have to act, the better your hand should be. After that, its just experience.
