I always think you should start with the Simplified and Illustrated book. Then start reading the casebook. In my opinion none of this really matters until you work games and you see some of these things happen, or close to those things happening. Because it is really hard to put things like PSK or clean hands until you have seen them up close. Kind of like having an "aaaahhhaaaa" moment. Of course that is not the case with every rule, but many of the complicated situations are learned by experience.

Peace
