Default Re: Anyone care to give general advice to a newbie???

What books do you have? Theory of Poker and Small Stakes Holdem are the only books you really need right now and are the most important to have. It might not be good that you have 10-12 books because alot of books give shitty advice.

With 2K-3K, you have a roll to play 3-6 or 5-10, but you should probably start small at .5-1 while learning the game before moving up. Typically you should have a 300 big bet bankroll for any limit you play, but you can take shots at a higher limit with less.

If you're good, you can expect to make between 2 and 3 big bets per hundred hands on average, but anything positive isn't bad. Of course, your winrate will drop off as you move up in levels and play against better people.
