Poker for Beginners

I have never thought much about Online Poker or offline poker. Other than some giggling about strip poker (without actually ever playing) or awareness that my ex and friends would play while we the wives had book club, not a thought really until a couple years ago when poker took over the world. Now it is everywhere and I have been meaning to figure it out. Pokersavvy HAS instructions and help for people from complete no-nothings like me to very experienced players. It seems like as good a place as any for me to pick up information on the basics and strategy so I don't look really dumb next time the topic comes up. I was particularly interested in the player styles and strategies. It all seemed like a sociology project.
