Answer by George
Almost every casino poker room runs daily tournaments. The buy-ins can be pretty low, and you can get a lot of experience for a relatively low price. Plus, you might actually win some money. This article is a pretty good resource and will tell you how to go about getting into tournaments and what you can expect.

Question by THJE: A good hold’em poker strategy book for a relative beginner?
I’m good at maths and it occurred to me now that i have a few months with nothing to do i should use this to try and make money with online poker. I’ve played with my family before, but usually with play money and not to a very high standard. I can work out the probabilities of a hand winning and stuff, but i am aware there’s a lot more to it, including analyzing the way players bet and the psychology of it, so does anyone know of a good book that can help me learn some of that stuff. Specifically, I’d like to learn how to win at low-limit tables (like .50/ or lower), and take the money off the players which i assume are quite bad who play on those tables.

So basically I want a book on limit hold’em poker strategy designed for consistently taking small amounts of money from weak players. Can anyone reccomend anything?
thank you Judas (!), do you know where I could buy that Lee Jones one in London, I’ve also heard about it and by the title it sounds fairly ideal…

Answer by JudasHero
Depends what games you’re playing exactly, but here’s what I’ve heard is good:
Super System 1 & 2 (Doyle Brunson)
David Sklansky’s Theory of Poker and Hold Em Poker (Sklansky is consider THE expert on anything poker, especially in regards to theory)
Internet Texas Hold Em (Matthew Hilger)
The Complete Book of Hold Em Poker (Gary Carson)
Hold Em Excellence: From Beginner to Winner (Lou Krieger)
Winning Low Limit Hold Em (Lee Jones; this one has been recommended to me many times since I also play low limits)

Hope that helps.

Also, just looking up strategy in general will give you a lot of great tips. There are lots of great articles out there, many by professional players, completely free.
