Experts: What would you change about how you learned poker?

[primate]

i'm not a high stakes player and certainly not an expert. I do multi-table NL $50 full ring games and find that I can beat game at this level. Tried the $100 a bit too soon and varience sent me back down to 50.

Starting out -
Learned sooner that TPTK is crap and a sure fire way of an appointment with the bank manager.
Definately should have read more about the game first.
Purchased poker software (PT or PO) earlier. A definate must when multi-tabling. I use Poker Office and found it difficult to get into PT. Should I change?

i wouldn't have talked about 5+ tabling on 2+2 until it was already discovered/popular [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Funny you mention this. I actually equate your decision to do so with the explosion of multitablers(totally serious here, btw). Before you came along and said this, myself and everybody I know was 2-4 tabling and was totally content.

yyyep [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] i've never seen the root discussed here, but i'm pretty sure it was my fault. by the time i realized what i had done, it was too late for damage control. inevitable, but i wonder how much longer it would have gone before it became popular if i hadn't big-mouthed it. it's not something for which i'm proud. i guess i just see it as a "thing".
