Default Getting started in day trading... (Questions)

I'm currently a winning low/mid stakes online poker player. With the games getting worse and the poker future looking bleak I was thinking about getting into day trading. Unfortunately, my knowledge on the subject is currently very inadequate. Fortunately I have no problem doing my homework. I plan to attack the endeavor in the same intellectual way I approached poker when I was learning. The problem here is that I don't really have an idea of where to start.

I'm looking for advice on what site to open an account at, what books I need to be reading currently, any software that will help me along, and how much $$ I will need to get started.

Any help would be appreciated including links from people who know their way around the finance forum better than myself. I'd try to use the search function but I don't really know exactly what I would be searching for.

Thx
