It's not gonna be that easy. Charts only get you from 0 to a little more than 0.

You should have Small Stakes Hold'em by Ed Miller, and you should participate in the forums.

Good luck to you.

but each of these books has a different strategy to use for pocket cards, and i was wondering which one you would say is the best, so that i can get started following that one.

Try Internet Texas Hold 'Em by Matthew Hilger. He has very systematic pre-flop charts and his post-flop play is pretty good too for beginners. After you read ITH and understand it, you can try SSH by Ed Miller...

what limit and structure are you starting out at? this is very important in determining which of the books you should use.
