Not just screwing around at a play money table going all in all the time.You won't learn poker and get better playing against those players.Hope this helps....maybe I'll see you there.

AFter you get a feel of the game you may want to progress to the 25/50 cent tables where books and other concepts are much more imporartant than in play money games.2. Read a book. The most reccomended book is called "The theory of poker. Heres a link: http://www.amazon.com/Theory-Poker-David-Sklansky/dp/1880685000/ref=pd_sim_b_5/002-5423259-0431230?ie=UTF8&qid=1179439097&sr=1-1After you read this book you have to choose between no limit or limit. For limit here is my book reccomedation: Ace on a river, heres a link : http://www.amazon.com/Ace-River-Advanced-Poker-Guide/dp/0972044221/ref=sr_1_1/002-5423259-0431230?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185477369&sr=1-1 For no limit heres a link: http://www.amazon.com/Harrington-Expert-Strategy-Limit-Tournaments/dp/1880685337/ref=pd_sim_b_1/002-5423259-0431230?ie=UTF8&qid=1185477369&sr=1-13. There are many concepts that must be mastered to become a succesful poker player. You have to know when to bluff, when to slowplay, when to check raise, when to contiuation bet, learn to be for the most part very agressive yet be able after you put lots of money in the pot, when to semibluff, when to check call your draw, when to actaully pursue your draw (pot odds), must know implied pot odds (in nl holdem), when a good time to call is (rarely), how to play suuted connectors, know how to use position effectively, and many other things. Yea, its a handful. I have a yahoo answers link where i talk about this stuff here it is (just scroll down and you will see a very long passage its mine) : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApvIpwkDimkSBqTcEeWpojzty6IX?qid=20070724131233AA4CMQS&show=7#profile-info-5u3arGBnaa5. O i forgot, when you first start you want to play a tight game. Resist the temptation to call with K9. Get in the habit of doing this EVEN in play money tables. Eventaully in play money you can play a little more loose because it wont be really fun. However, once you start playing real money you have to be tight again. (and agressive)6. Practice.Its a lengthy column I know..Edit: I just noticed this very good site that explains many basici concepts of poker strategy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_strategy

Anyway, what i have done is to buy the Harrington on hold em series, Vol. 1-3 play blackjack for real money. Without doubt the best tournament poker books around blackjack games free promotions to play for real money. I really don;t rate Super System 1 or 2 for texas hold em. They are not in depth enough to be a serioud player. Also watch lots of poker tournaments on tv so you can learn how to play play from the pros. If i see anything interesting that is a good play, i make a note of it on paper so i can refer back to it when i need to how do u play blackjack. lastly, i study poker everyday like it's a degree, im studing for. There so much to learn about poker, your going to forget alot of stuff and dont forget to play ALOT. Nothing will give you experience like playing, in a casino or online.
