Default Re: What to do with $14000?

Start with a $300 bankroll .5/1. Move up when you get 300BB for the next level (i.e. $600 for 1/2). Force yourself to move up when you hit that number. Move back down once you hit 100BB for that level (i.e. $200 for 1/2).

After you've moved up to 1/2, I would start trying out different games like 1/2 shorthanded, no limit, pot limit. I would also try out Omaha, Stud, SNGs and other variations of poker. Find what works for you.

Study hands in the appopriate poker strategy forums. Don't ever stop moving up!

As for books I'd get Winning Low Limit Hold'em, Small Stakes Hold'em to start off with. I'd also recommend HEPFAP and TOP but you won't need those anytime soon. A lot of the info in the above books you can find on the 2+2 forums, but you have to learn to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
