I just found your site a week ago, and what a eye opener( i can't stop reading all the posts). I thought i knew something about poker but clearly i had no idea. I want to start playing for money but know i am not ready. Right now i play on party poker with play money.

After reading your posts i have been practicing :
reading the flop
position
pot odds (hard to do on the fly, does it get easier w/ prac)
reading the table and players

must say it is overwhelming at the moment (but i love it)

I've found Rentons pre-flop strat to be very helpful


Questions:
What r some basic things i should focus on (am i on the right track)?

Is it worth playing with fake money (I feel people don't take is seriouly)?

your guys insite would be great
