People learn differently, but luckily there are a variety of ways for you to learn how to play poker:
1. If you prefer to learn by reading, then there are plenty of
excellent poker books ranging from beginner to advanced, and general topics to more specific ones (like
Optimizing Ace-King). There are also plenty of free poker articles available on the web (although most of these cover very specific topics and require you to have a basic foundation of poker knowledge).
2.
Poker workbooks are a great way to supplement learning from reading. These present a series of problems designed to simulate real-world scenarios, thereby helping you convert theoretical knowledge into practical experience.
3. There are also a myriad of poker courses, again ranging from generic topics like
Red Chip Poker's Poker Aggression course to more specific topics like
Ace Poker Solutions' Sit & Go Booster.
4. A really great way to learn poker is to
join Advanced Poker Training. This site allows you to play against bots, and then provides a weekly report on your play. Not only do they point out areas where you can improve, but also provide plenty of resources, such as links to articles and videos to explain the concepts in more detail.
5. There are also several poker YouTube channels that focus on teaching you how to play the game better. However, most of these focus on more advanced tips, so are better if you have already gained a solid foundation via one of the learning methods listed above.
Which options are best for you will depend on your budget, which method of learning is best for you, and your goals (i.e. are you looking to just learn the basics, or do you want to start crushing games?). If your goal is to become a winning poker player, then you should really be learning via all 5 methods!
