Default Getting Started

Hi,

This is my first post of many I hope. Basically my flatmates and me all play poker casually and recently I've been doing rather well but always too scared to play online. My friend has gone busto so many times its stupid and he told me about this site.

I've had a quick browse and I've decided I want to play cash games, mainly because I am a student and can't afford to spend 4 hours in a tourney just to lose.

I have about $500 to put into poker from saving up and birthday money. I figure I need PokerTracker and HUD and then I should have $400 to put online. I will do that sometime this week after trying to read a large section of the stickied stuff at the top of the forum and watching a few vids.

So my starter question's are:

1) What site shall I play at? my friend plays Full Tilt but says it's really hard so I was thinking pokerstars.

2) Where can I find information about setting up PokerTracker? I'm probably being a doofus on this one but I can't see it.

3) Does it sound like I'll have a good enough chance to make money or should I refine my plan?

Sorry if this stuff isn't allowed, if not then feel free to delete.
