Being still rather new to online poker (3-4months now) I'm looking to improve my game to the next level. Consider I've never read a poker book and never played before 4 months ago( aside from a small run at true poker playing with the funny money) where should I look to improve my game?

Some things to consider:
- I don't like reading books to learn, I've always learn 5x faster from experience.
- I like the MTT, but they just arn't supporting the cash required for the learning curve.
- I don't like playing strategies in a book, or following the "un-written" rules of poker.
- Most importantly I'm in it for the entertainment, but I don't want that entertainment to cost me anything.


At this point, I'm still in the red for Withdrawls -> Deposits. About 1K behind. I have $300 at stars to commit to a game plan... but need a game plan.

I've tried everything, and had good runs and bad at all game types / levels. I'm a good MTT NL player, but when I play NL at the ring games I tend to get hurt on the action flops.

I'm thinking either commiting that $300 to 30 $10.00 Sngs or following the 300BB rule of thumb, move to the 0.50/1 limit tables and start mixing it up. What do I need to know about variance to be succussful at the limit tables or the Sngs.

If I play limit, from my understanding I should follow these levels to ensure I don't blow my bank.

0.50/1 = 300
1/2 = 600
2/4 = 1200
4/8 = 2400

Few things I could use some help with, what is EV+? either an explanation or link would be great. Who are these 2+2 people I keep hearing about.

And how the hell do you fold AA after the flop!!!!!!
