Play, play, play, play, play. I play a few times a week online (ultimatebet.com) and a couple times a month with friends. We host tournaments about every other month.
Play online for free for a while, but understand that people play differently when nothing is on the line. You can play $.01/$.02 blinds on ultimatebet.com, so even if you get rolled you only lose a buck or two. I highly recommend starting there.
Also, watch the World Poker Tour on TV. Mike Sexton knows what he's talking about, and you'll learn a lot. If you want a good book, Doyle Brunson's Super System is supposed to be one of the best. But it's $50.
Also, UB has $3 tournaments on Saturday mornings. If you win that tournament you get a seat at the next level. If you win *that*, you get a free trip to Aruba.
Play, play, play, play.....
