Holdem has exploded on the internet. You can play in scores of online poker rooms. Hundreds of sites provide forums and advice (though none as good as this one :). The current popularity of Holdem is in part due to this internet explosion. It's become a world wide game, where Koreans, Americans and Germans duke it out in no limit tournaments without ever seeing each other's faces.
All this stuff out there on the internet and people are still playing like fools. They're like the rich kid with the free ride to Harvard who decides to sit in his dorm and get stoned instead. They have all the advantages necessary to play a strong game, and they neglect them.
There are odds calculators, hand charts, hand simulators, and thousands of articles and forums on the internet for you to use to improve your game. Take advantage of it all. Use every tool available to you. The internet is the Holdem player's biggest tool box.
Finally, there's one tool that the internet can't provide. Whatever you do with all the internet's tools, make sure you use common sense. Don't use a screwdriver when you can use a hammer.
