Id say you have plenty of resources available to you, from books, to poker forums, and even poker schools. However if you arent willing to spend much money, you arent going to learn the important things. You either will need to start reading some books, or actually playing with some more advanced players. Poker forums generally wont give you enough knowledge of how to play the hand, and often people have different opinions on how the hand should be played. I would say its going to take at least 10-15 years before you become a decent player, or 15000 hours of playing to be an expert. Just remember there are so many variables in every hand of poker. If you are playing freerolls or even micro stakes you are just going to experience frustration and dissapointment, i promise you. However, if you can make it to a final table or 2 it will give you some valuable insight, but generally those players arent experienced enough to show you any real good things anyways. Just remember you should have some innate ability or skill at poker that makes this the right path for you, or makes you a good player. Whether that be your math skill, your patience, your creativeness, or ability to read people, everyone has some different ability thats strong with them. Research all the variables of hands you can think of, these include: Position, Pot sizing, Bet sizing, Fold equity, % to win hand, Pot odds, Implied odds, and basic classification of players at the table. All these go into every hand and the more information you can obtain the better you will do, but its going to take many years before you feel like you are a "good"player

Timovieman is to blame...
Back in 2007 he started playing limit poker and i was a bit infected by his enthousiasm and started playing and studying as well
But your return to poker and switch to NL now has nothing to do with me, right?

I started to play 2 or 3 years ago on a free poker App. at first I lost everything but after playing 'far to many' hands. I guess I am not that bad anymore. It also helps to see hands that are posted on this forum ofcourse, I am not that long a member but that is what I am trying to do now.

I learned to play at the internet after a friend of mine showing me that you could play some Sit'n Go's freerolls at Everest and win 5 cents every time you won the tournament.

My brother was into it, I learnt the game from him, then I played Zynga poker, because I'm underrage which probably didn't help my game at all and maybe even had the opposite effect haha.
