Advice sought

[Pobby]

I am a bit of a novice as far as texas hold em is concerned. I have played a few games with mates and generally do OK as I have the basic concepts and I also watch a lot on TV, however, I was in Ireland last week on holiday and entered the VC pub challenge in a pub for a laugh. I came 2nd and have qualified for the semi. The semi-final is online, I have never played online. I want to start playing online and also get more of a grasp of correct play i.e. what to play from different table positions etc. etc. Where would be the best place to start playing online? I understand that the free tables are a waste of time as everyone plays every hand. Also where would be the best place to find out about correct strategies etc. etc. I don't fully understand "limping in" "representing the ace" and all that when they say it on TV. At the moment it is all on instinct. Any advice would be appreciated.
