The best teacher is experience. Learn as much as your brain can hold, then put it to practical use on the green felt. You will learn in 1000 hands what it takes six months to learn by asking questions online. Don't get me wrong, there is a wealth of knowledge here on cardschat to be taken advantage of, but there is no substitute for playing poker.

You will learn in 1000 hands what it takes six months to learn by asking questions online. Don't get me wrong, there is a wealth of knowledge here on cardschat to be taken advantage of, but there is no substitute for playing poker. Also, TV poker isn't a great way to "learn" poker for several reasons. Editing takes much of the strategic blind-stealing, and other elements away because it doesn't make for exciting television. Most times you will see only the final table which is a far cry from fundamentally sound poker, especially when it gets short-handed.
