I don't think anyone can help you become a successful pokerplayer from scratch just by writing a post here.
What you should do is to read a few pokerbooks. Read this, and other, forums. Play a lot of poker. Freerolls is a good start. (You should not watch that much poker on TV, beliveing that you can play the same way on the Internet when you begin. You can't.) And when you feel you are starting to get the hang of it, you apply for one of the NDB here, and start your way to your first million.

My first book I ever read was phil gordons little green book. Maybe you can try that, it's a really good book for beginners and experienced. Also if you have read it, play some and reread it after, you'll find more things in the book because of your own experience. I also liked Phil helmuth's play like the pro's, but I don't recommend reading that as a novice, he gives good tips for novices, but some things aren't completely right as most of it is for limit poker. If you just started I recommend playing only monsterhands and before you play cards like connectors etc that you are a bit more experienced.

If you look for books I recommend ebay, there are a few British bookcompanies who sell them new there, with shipping cost not so high. I always had them within one week, which I find very fast for international shipping.

freerolls freerolls and freerolls are absolutely the best way to learn poker ... dont give up before you have cashed in atleast once. Dont play freerolls on the big sites (full tilt and pokerstars, no idea to play if the freeroll has a prizepool of 100 $ and thousands of players) i would recommend the Unibet freerolls. And remember not to take the early part of a freeroll seriously, there will be lots of all ins with any two cards. But in the late game itm ( "itm" = in the money = you are guaranteed a $ prize if you are eliminated ) people will play seriously and this is the part you will learn how to play real poker.
I also think Unibet have special freerolls for players only from Romania ...

I'm not shore about that Unibet thing...freerolls are a good way to start, but don't hang there too long, or you're gonna be stuck in a rut in no time, because the majority of players there are kinda idiots If u really determined you want to learn, add me: sly_boogy89 and we'll talk...you can look up my other posts if u wanna see if I know my poker or not
Off: sorry for posting my mess id here guys, didn't find yet the PM here, if the forum has one.....
Edit: I remembered I played some freerolls on Unibet and they sucked big time...super turbo, lots of donks and shitty prize pool.
Thank you very much and all the best to us all!
