The best way to learn is to read some books. Head over to Amazon and get all the basic books. After that, once you're actually legal, play online at micro-stakes. Whether you think it's fixed or not, you risk a lot less playing 0.05/ 0.1 cents no limit hold'em than you do going to your local casino, where the limits are always 1/ 2+ . If you ever reach a certain level where you're good, read my free report at the address below. It shows how you can get between 80 and 135% rakeback. That number is so high that even if you lose money, you will still win. Being a poker professional is pretty easy when you earn over $5,000 USD in rakeback each month.

Playing with friends and family is way different from playing with other professional poker players. Playing poker is not easy and you will need a large bankroll to handle the variance so you don't go broke. To be become a good player you need lots of experience and not just verse friends and family. Since you are 17 this becomes a lot harder for you. So the only way you can gain experience would be to play online. I would recommend only playing at PokerStars or Full Tilt since these are the most trusted sites. A useful site for you read would be twoplustwo.com. They have a poker forum they might give you pointers and a better feel for what it is really like to be a professional poker player.
