What to do with $14000?

[Shazzy]

Hello 2+2,

Sorry about the misleading title, didn’t think newbie needs help would get much attention. I am about to embark into the world of poker. I am 20 years old, male, and I have savings of which I am going to use $14000 as my initial bank roll. I am not one to go head first into a situation and thus I would like to feel fully prepared before I start playing with my bank roll. I would like to draw onto the wisdom of 2+2ers to help me on my way. I would be grateful if anyone could answer ANY of the following questions. If you can only provide input on 1 or 2 questions and not all of them that would still be much appreciated.

Q1: What is the best way to get started?
Q2: What books or websites should I read up on?
Q3: Is there any real difference in play on any of the sites?
Q4: Apart from having a good poker strategy will I need to be efficient in anything else to become a successful player?
Q5: I am seriously considering acquiring the services of a coach. Are there any reputable coaches who charge reasonable prices available? I have read that a lot of coaches analyze hand histories and send feedback etc. I feel that a personable approach is needed thus can anyone provide me details of a coach who can teach over the phone, IM or in person and teach me the basics of poker to more advanced theory, psychology, software, and even the best sites to play on.

Thank you in advance and I hope I can contribute to the 2+2 community once I get going.
