There's a lot of things you have to learn to be profitable and probably it will be late to happen, but I think this can be useful to make a research.
1. Choose the right game for you
Choose a game where you are one of the favorites to win, choose the games that have players worse than you. If that is not possible, play just
freerolls. If you have money to invest, make a good coaching and you will save your money.
2. Study more than play.
Poker has a lot of mathematic, psychologic, logic and technique concepts. We learn faster when we learn through the experience of others.
3. I really recommend you begin by the mathematic concepts, even you don't know what to do in some situations, you will make right decisions more times when you have a HUD in your head.
