‘EVEN GREAT CHAMPIONS WERE BEGINNERS AT SOME STAGE IN THEIR LIVES’
We all have to start somewhere: even great champions were beginners at some stage in their lives. In a game like poker, where money is often involved, starting out can be a daunting prospect. That, however, should not deter you from getting your feet wet. In the contemporary climate, especially, there are many ways to learn and practice the game.
When I was starting out, I played once a week at the university poker club; this was an enjoyable and beneficial way of getting a feel for live poker. However, like anything else, you need to practice as much as possible.
Reading poker literature is also a productive way of gaining knowledge and spending your time when travelling, for instance. At home, you can read online strategy articles, watch video tutorials and practice in play money games, without risking any money. Although the standard of play in these games will usually be low, it will give you a feel for the game flow and help you become more comfortable with how everything works.

Ton's of Information
There's tonnes of information on the web about poker. It may seem daunting that there is so much, and often some of its seems contradictory.
First of all, you have taken a correct step by signing into a forum such as this. There's no end of discussions about specific hands and general strategy. You need to read something every day.
My routine is this: study 1/2 hour a day - at least. You would not expect to pick up a violin and start playing music from scratch. You need to study poker to become good. Do you know your starting hands by your seat position. Have you downloaded something like poker stove to see how various hands match up against other hands or ranges of hands?
Finally, there is a very popular and well known poker site* that has an extensive "poker school" that is free to join. It's a start. Of course, you should practice your poker playing at tables and there is always play money tables with which to practice the skills you are studying.

Play hundreds of real money hands to gain real money experience.
Learn patience.
Not tilt or get mad at yourself because life happens.
Remember you may be a good player, but the rake may make this a losing battle, basically making this a hobby instead of a way to earn money.

Personally I would take the time to read books, and constantly write down what hands you plan in a composition book/journal. This is what I did when I got into a poker. I took a composition book with me to live games. Keep i mind, this was before there were Apps that could keep track of what you play.

the best is to watch videos of professional poker twitch or take the time to analyze the game of players during major events and to inspire you.In poker the player has incomplete information from which it must make decisions. If he knows how to fully exploit this information, get the best out of it, and find a suitable decision for each situation: he will inevitably have the advantage over his opponents .Your actions must be premeditated out of the table. Creativity at the table but it is based on an experience consolidated by your reflections.To summarize play carefully with dangerous hands, bluff little and observe the table to prepare the middle and the end of your tournament.
