Congrats.
If you are playing for significant money I highly suggest a trainer subscription. I always liked the gold membership to videopoker.com. When I got to Vegas I would sit in the hotel and play on my laptop until I had 200+ hands in a row with no errors -- then I knew I was ready to play for real cash. There are phone trainers too (even free ones) but being able to use the keyboard on the laptop let me really fly through the hands -- just as fast as on a fast machine.
I used to play a lot of full pay TDB which has a somewhat complex strategy, so I wanted to make sure I was sharp before playing for real. It was amazing how many mistakes I'd make in the first 50 hands or so before I got "into the flow".
If you don't know the correct strategy for your game, the trainer will pay for itself in no time. Even if you do, using it to "warm up" like I did can be valuable.
