"Q1. I am under the impression that in the lower limits any hand goes and play is very inconsistent. It is not until limits 3/6 and upwards that a skilled player may beat a less skilled player.

It is that one comment that makes it clear that your understanding of the game of poker is small (non existant). It's common amongst new people so don't fret it.

Here is a suggestion.

Don't worry about finding coaches and software etc etc etc.

Play limit to start with.

Buy Getting Started in Hold em by Ed Miller. Read it and reread it again.

But Small Stakes Hold em by Ed Miller. Read it and reread it again.

Open an account on Pokerstars (they do not offer rakeback so you won't miss out here).

Buy Pokertracker.

Play some low limit games (0.25/0.50) and play 1,000 hands. See how you do. See if you enjoy it.

Read hands and advice in the micro/limit small stakes forum. See how you go for 20,000 hands. Move up as you see fit and when you are comfortable.

If you enjoy the game etc then you can worry about bankroll, coaching, rakeback and the like.

A couple of other things.

Do not be embarrassed to play low limits to start.

Do not be ashamed if you are playing BicycleKick at 400/800 at the commerce within 3 weeks.

Do not envy the people that are making $20,294,024 a week playing holdem.

Good Luck.

i bet you have pipe dreams of making tons of money right away... only a special few people and asians are capable of doing this. go ahead and keep saving and play the game for fun, but try to work your way up by starting small. jumping in with 14k is retarded.
