Played internet poker for the first time today!

Nivek,
1. For limit holdem, you should have 300 BB(big bets) in your bankroll for whatever stakes your playing(not mandatory, but highly recommended).
2. Get pokertracker.
3. Don't move up in limits without 300 BB for the next limit.
4. For limit, read "small stakes hold'em" by Ed Miller.
5. For no-limit, you're on your own, however Harrington on Holdem Vol I & II are excellent and highly recommended by many. Although primarily for tournaments, many feel the concepts apply to cash games also. Don't know what you need for a bankroll for NL.
6. Post hands on the forum for help.
7. Get rakeback.
8. Whore the bonuses.
9. Cold cards happen to us all(me more than most).

Good Luck.
