Poker Newbie: Where should I play and learn?

[Fast Eddie]

Never played poker in a club, casino or on line. I understand the rules pretty much and am willing to learn (look forward to it in fact). I've read some of the colourful books like Big Deal, Bigger Deal and the Stu Ungar Biography so I'm under no illusions that I'm going to be any good to begin with. Can you first of all recommend me a site where I can play for small stakes and at a slow table if there is such a thing cos I looked at some of the games online and they were going crazy quick for a Newbie like me? Also, what about any recommendations as to the best books to start with, Hold'em for the moment as that seems to be THE game to play. And are there any good learning sites or blogs for the new player? Thanks for any help. Ed

Re: Poker Newbie: Where should I play and learn? Get youself on pokerstars imo and start playing the $1 18 man sit and goes 10 minute levels. Should get you going.
