Great game. Just play often. Read some of the theory books, and then practice practice practice.

...there are tons of sites. Play for free for quite awhile until you have a good feel for hands and the like before foraying into the real money games is my advice.
..as for playing in real life. casinos and the like? it's stellar. Get to know your opponents (not literally). Watch them and listen to them. Pay attention when you are no longer in a hand. Watch how they react, play, bet, and what they play.
All in all, play Tight and Aggressive. Know when to fold. and fold often. I've learned that it costs a lot of money to find out the guy wasn't bluffing.
Enjoy.
