Tips for beginner, 6 players

Hello. Just subscribed to this group.
Could anyone point me out to some hints, tips, websites as to play/
learn, as a total beginner or close to, for tables of 6 (and not 10),
and very very low cash games ? I'm not here to win or lose money, I'd
just like to learn, avoiding the classical beginners errors, try to
learn from my mistakes, etc.

Thanks a lot.

Off the top of my head:
- #1: get on the play money side of the sites first - don't risk any real
$$'s until you have a lot of hands under your belt and the mechanics
become second nature
- #2: play full tables, not 6-handed - on 6-handed tables you're forced
to make more decisions just to stay ahead of the blinds/rake, and early
on, this will just lead you to get frustrated - play the full tables so
you learn how to fold/fold/fold - only once you're 100% sure you have an
edge at any given level should you try the 6-handed tables
- #3: find a hand chart (like Phil Gordon's) and stick to it; once you
reach the point that you can play the chart w/o having to lookup every
hand, then try to expand your range of hands on your own - but going with
the hand chart will be a good way to get a feel for how your options
change as your position improved on the table
- #4: find a post by DG777 - burn that sad excuse for posting into your
brain, so that you don't play above your head and end up like him

Good luck
