Need some Direction

[Robnaldo]

A few weeks ago I decided to find out what else their is to Poker(HE to be
exact), other than a rank of hands. I would have never thought that HE
required so much..thought!

I have been reading posts from almost a hand full of forums and here as
well.

Recently I picked up a hold'em book, "The Complete Book of Hold'em
Poker -Gary Carson" to be exact. I realize this wasn't the best first Poker
book, but it was the best choice I had, I think. (Other choices were Killer
Poker Online, Super Systems, and Play like the Pros)

I plan on ordering these books next, but I don't know if they would be my
best choice:

Lee Jones- Winning Low Limit Hold'em
David Sklansky - Hold'em Poker
David Sklansky - Theory of Poker
And then
David Sklansky - Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players
Doyle Brunson - Super Systems

I am 18 and live in Nova Scotia, Canada and am also interested in trying a
little online poker, just small limit games.

Being in Canada can I still get a NETeller account, and if so how would it
affect my account?

I was considering joining www.partypoker.com as it looks like a good place
for a beginner to get his feet wet, perhaps someone has a better
recommendation.

Sorry for the Lengthy Post

Robnaldo,

Your booklist is pretty good, though you probably don't need Super System if you are mainly interested in limit games. If you ever want to try no limit or no limit tournaments, then Super System is also a good choice. Carson's book may not be good for a beginner. Reviews of other books are at:

PartyPoker is ok. You may want to try several sites and just play for play money or very low stakes at first to see how you like them. Ultimate Bet has ultra-low limit games ($.01/.02) that can help you get comfortable. On the other hand, Truepoker has a unique interface (3D animated avitars). Pokerstars has lots of tournaments. The GamingClub has multiple freeroll tournaments a day. And on and on.... If you have multiple accounts, you can take advantage of deposit bonuses and other promotions that are offered periodically.

Neteller works well for me. I don't know about Canadian accounts, but I'm sure they'll let you know.... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Best of luck!

Since NETeller is based in Canada, I don't think being Canadian would hurt you. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[Robnaldo]

Thanks for the response guys, I appreciate it.

I have one more question, Can I deposit with my Credit Card and Cashout then Withdrawal with NETeller?

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

I've done exactly that on True, Party & 'Stars.

[Robnaldo]

Where can I get these books at a decent price.

I went to amazon.com and it would cost me 44.89 US and 58 Canadian just to order HE and WLLHE to Canada.
(Canada doesn't qualify for Amazon Super saving, so shipping is 8.97)

I went to www.bestwebbuys.com but it seems most of the cheaper sites only ship to the US.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Try one of the large bookstore chains. Do you have Borders or Barnes & Noble in Canada? Most 2+2 books are now in the larger bookstores.

[Robnaldo]

No sadly we don't have either in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The biggest Chains we have here are Chapters and Coles, neither of which have them.

I'm going to check some more out soon, perhaps I will find one.

[Robnaldo]

Lucky me, I found out amazon has a Canadian site too.
And the Canadian site has Super Saving Shipping for orders over $39 CDN.

The books HE/WLLHE come to a total of $42.80 as opposed to the $58.37 I thought I was looking at.

Try http://www.anybook4less.com/ seems like many times the best price is at Overstock, which says it has "World Wide Shipping"
