I am getting interested in playing poker, and I’ve seen that it is a really complicated task to master, should I start playing games, or that doesn’t help at all? What can I do to practice and start to improve my game?
I started by playing games like "Poker Night" and "Poker Night 2" by Telltale Games, but you can find a lot of free poker games online. They usually have a good tutorial and can give you some good practice.
Texas hold em is surely an "easy to learn hard to master" game. Start to practice it by playing, and learn well the basics. Experience will come by with time.
If you don't intend play it competitive don't bother with the advanced theories, they are interesting but hard to learn and master (and with some good basics in math required).
