I recently started to make a study of poker.

Start at the play money tables or pogo.com's Texas Hold 'Em. It's an absolute waste risking your own money at real money tables when you're just starting up at poker. This isn't as simple as BJ were you learn basic strategy then advanced BJ rules/odds and proper bankroll measures/management then grind it out x amount of days. I will estimate that it takes a player just starting out, who is very disciplined and is willing to work hard to improve his game, at least 6 months to become a winner at Texas Hold 'em.

To the OP:

The above is wrong, start with real money, if you feel like starting small you can do .02/.04 at stars but real experience is way better then play.
