This is good advice - read a bit. I suggest Sklansky's "The Theory of Poker" and Phil Helmuths book, "Play Poker Like the Pros". Helmuth's first two chapters are a very good way to get into the game and tell you which starting hands to play.
I play a good amount on Ultimatebet.com. They have free tournaments that you can play during the day that are going to be a better way to improve your play than in a normal free card room where people play bad strategy because it is just free play chips.
