Help me learn how to play poker

[Ggier]

I'm a complete beginner and want to learn poker properly. Where should I start? What are the best resources for understanding rules, strategies, and practice?

Start by mastering basic rules and hand rankings, then move to free online tables to practice. For strategy, study position play and pot odds. A great tool is using a poker bot AI to simulate real-game scenarios—check out http://aifarm-bots.com/ for AI-powered training. Books and YouTube tutorials also help, but nothing beats actual gameplay with gradual stakes increases.
