Hi Guys,

New here to 2+2, and relatively new to the game of poker, or at least studying the game at all. I'm in my mid 20's and live in Los Angeles. I'vee played poker since my late teens but have basically stayed at the same knowledge of strategy and the game the entire time(basic understanding of rules).

I'm about to take a couple months of hiatus from work and was thinking about diving deep in and working on my poker game. I'm located relatively close to multiple casinos in the greater Los Angeles area and have a relatively good amount of money I can set aside in order to bankroll my education. Wanted to get some words of advice on how I should start out on this journey to not suck at poker. What books and courses I should check out, as well as what coaches I should reach out to here on 2 + 2. I'm sure I should probably spend a few weeks or months on studying books and courses before thinking about seeking some coaching help but wanted to get some advice and avoid creating bad habbits.
Thanks!
