Few questions from poker newbie.

[lihar]

i've already played over 2k hands.
But i have some questions... i read a lot of articles ,
So my question is pretty lame but still im asking what should i do more to improve my game?Play or read?I already know a lot of poker terms,the positions and the other things.
Ofcorse i want to play more than i read so that's why im asking....and the other question is in lot of articles the author said what kind of hands you have to play in different position so do i have to strictly follow this?I mean i know that the range of hands i play have to be based on my position.I also know what weak cards means...

So please can anyone help.

I think that the expirience that you gain from playing poker is better than reading some article or something. And no. It is not needed to follow a certain pattern in your play. I think that poker need to be fluent game in which you need to make quick desicions fast. Not follow blindly someone's pattern. However, that is only my opinion. There are much more expirienced players than me here who can give you better answers.
