"Being able to read players, spot tells, and use mind games is the best way to help yourself succeed in any poker scene which are all things you can't do in online poker (or at least, not nearly as effectively)"
Sorry Ren, I don't mean to pick on you but ... this is really not anywhere close to the truth. Reading players and spotting tells is important, but on the scale of important items, it's closer to the bottom. At least for the lower stakes.
If you want to get good at poker, read and contribute on the 2+2 forums, read/re-read some solid books, and play at stakes that are comfortable for your bankroll.
