Any help available would be great. I've been playing for a short time now, though I feel I'm a pretty quick learner. I was wondering. What kind of tables are the best to get a better feel of how the game is really supposed to be played. I currently go to the local casinos and play the 3-6 tables. My concern is that there are too many yahoos sitting at those tables and most likely not employee the correct strategies.
Though I dont' look to them for advice or strategies ( unless something really makes sense ) should I be looking elsewhere for learning purposes?
I see in posts about Author speaking of things I know not. Should I be starting there?
Any help is appreciated... I live in PHX anyone out there live close? 
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

i would recommend the following book:
Winner's Guide To Texas Hold'em Poker
by Ken Warren
it's relatively cheap (15 bones on amazon), and is a great way to start a good foundation of formal knowledge. of course there is no substitute for experience, but i found reading up on some things helped me round out the rough edges that used to cost me when i sat at the tables. also if you can try to find a local group of players/friends that you can play with on a consistent basis.
