That's a pretty big question, but you can start by joining our study group and getting the free e-book. There's a lot of information and strategy to cover, but this is a good place to start.

You gotta start studying hard, double time than grinding focusing on studies, if you want to get somewhere. If not, its going only in, never out.

More play, watch the other players. What mistakes do occur at the table.

I think the first thing that you should learn is how to fold, a lot. Then learn to grade each hand that you play. Learn how to play honest poker, don't bluff in micro stakes poker, it just doesn't work. Playing honest poker, is by far the most profitable way to play poker. One other thing that you have to learn is yourself, learn what puts you on tilt. The sooner you figure that out, the more money you will make and save.

Best wishes to you on the felt

I was playing earlier, and I caught a real good hand and did have one caller, who was calling everything I put out there. When the hand was over, I had two pair As and Qs and he had a pair of 2s. There is 4 higher cards on the board and he thinks 22 will win. Just don't play like that. Like has been said, study and know yourself. I used to tilt real bad and after that I just lost more. When I learned to stay calm after any kind of beat, I started to win more. But even at that, nobody wins all the time. I always say, the winners are the ones who can hold on to their winnings the longest. What I mean is when you get ahead continue to play the way you played to get ahead. And that like has been said also, learn how to fold a lot.

My advice, stick with the low bankroll for a long time and just have fun! If you keep pressing to hard to jump to the next level you're going to keep knocking yourself back down. As suggested, look at some of the free material online, an rent a book from the library. If you live in a bigger city you will see most of the good poker strategy books there.

This is a very informative board. Thanks for the posts guys.

You can learn online poker by playing much.

You can learn cheaply by playing strictly at the micro/lowest stake you can find.

I played at the lowest stakes for along time, until I was able to move up one level, and then another one. and as said above, you can learn a lot at that level and you can have some fun at the same time. What I say is not to rush to move up. Let your BR determine when to go up.

Bankroll management is a big big part of poker! Just remember you can go a long way with great BR management. Also, I would read some books and no that Twitch is here to follow some great players while they are grinding.

stick with this forum
read and post hand analysis of hands that you didnt know how to play right
review your own hands

Slowly progress, get a lot of volume in. Make notes on players and improve your reading game (as well as your statistical game of course). Intuition plays a big part in poker, more than one would typically think. Learn to fold good starting hands, set mine, trap etc. As previously stated, practice, a lot! Which means studying a lot! You must develop your game, especially once you reach a blockage in your Bankroll. Also try to ablaze your worst hands and see what you can do to fix them the next time you get into a similar circumstance.
