With the way things are right now, I can't be throwing my money around just because I want to improve my game. There has to be sensible free ways to practice first. l think free tables, training apps and watching experienced players explain their decisions would make sense before risking the real cash. It's always better to practice first.
 
I wouldn't recommend playing play-money tables if you're trying to gain experience that will help you improve. While I believe most of the experience you gain from freerolls won't translate directly to real-money games, it's still valuable if you can consistently make deep runs in large-field tournaments.
 
I think free-play games are a good place to learn the basics without risking money. You can also watch hand breakdowns, study strategy articles, and review your own decisions after each session.
 
Read the SuperSystem. Find someone to play heads up live and learn all the outs/odds. Play live as often as possible with people better than you.

Playing online play a diverse a group as possible. I suggest ring games @ micro stakes working your way up.

Don't be afraid to mix it up. You only learn by the bad beats.

I’ve only heard great things about SuperSystem, even though I’ve never read it myself. It’s by Doyle Brunson, who I consider an OG in the poker world, and nearly every player I’ve talked to has had good things to say about it.
 
I think tou should start with free online poker tables. They're a low-pressure way to get comfortable with the rules, hand rankings, and betting. Once you understand the basics, you can review your sessions and gradually move on to low-stakes games when you feel ready.

I found it. It was completely opposite my first live Cash game in a casino poker room was a 3/6 game that include a kill button. But I had enough knowledge of how it worked to know not to sit on the table without a proper buyin and reserve which was 300 a pop.
It took quite a bit getting used to that kill button and the 3/6 limit was not something I was happy with, but I managed to survive long enough for my tournament to come available and I still left the cash cashed out 125 over my buyin fee so I was happy
