How did you start learning poker?

For example, I started playing with huge mistakes that I no longer make... Where did you start?

I started with free pokerstars tournaments.

I won 3 cents in a snap(zoom) freeroll tournament on 888 around 6 years ago and I was hooked. I played it at about 3am in the morning as I had a lot on my mind. So glad I did. I’d always been intrigued by it from watching on Tv.

I srarted 10 years ago or so with losing my small deposit that I made. Then I stopped and returned to poker recently with a completely different mindset. And I think I am progressing slowly.

I think I was trying to control my anger, and noticing certain events that were repeated and I wasn't taking the right action due to the tilt.

I starded with learning the rules and play 5 card draw poker as a kid. When I was 16 I started to play holdem with friends and online for cash. Back in those days every non gambler/casino player was easily a winning player still having a lot of leaks. So was I. I played until my early 20s and was winning at micro to medium limits cash and tournament poker on pacific poker/ 888 Poker, Pokerstars and Full Tilt. I then quit and came back over 10 years later to find a whole different world of poker. Games are tough now because everyone has access to learning stuff free and so many people do it for a living even at the micro stakes that most real casino gambler people lose interest. So I started learning new things and work on my leaks. In theory I should be an easy winning player at the micros but unfortunately variance kills me since half a year by now. Poker definetely has to be played and learned the serious way in todays games. Otherwise you pay for it everyday.

I started with freerolls. I looked at various books and websites, but nothing was better than what I had experienced in practice.
