And what the others are telling you is that SSS isn't a starting point for learning the game. Boxing analogy. A fighter's approach at the opening bell of the 1st round is much different from the approach at the opening bell of the final round when behind on points. Same thing in poker. SSS is something you should know how to utilize when losing, but no need to practice it. U just wait for JJ+, AJ+, push, and hope you get lucky (most times you will be in a coin flip situation). Instead of practicing turning 20BB into 40BB, you should practice turning 100BB into 200BB. Practice the opening round boxing techniques as opposed to practicing how to land a round 12 lucky knockout punch.

Where to start? Forget 25NL / 50NL. Start off at 5NL ($0.05 BB) following Bankroll Management buyin guidelines. Practice/play, post hands, ask the dumb questions (I still do) and be willing to accept advice. You'll get alot of good advice here. Good luck. I hope I've been helpful. I'm still a novice myself.
