You can get some sort of decent games going if you buy-in for more than the amount that people can easily reload to. Challenge yourself to practice bankroll management and never go broke. Just build and play in more expensive games and you'll find better players. Not everyone plays a game to win money, some just want to win period, money or not. I learned this way and feel like it was time well spent. All the same considerations apply, pot odds, calculating outs, etc. I even think it's good if you can play the same when you move to real money, instead of worrying that it's real money and being too cautious. |

wrong. you can build up your play money and use it to enter a real money torney. At full tilt. 500,000 play chip buy in though. Don't rember what the pay out is 1 or 2 hundred. But not to bad really because not a whole lot of people play in it. So if you don't mide playing the fake at least your playing towards some thing. But remeber to still use some BRM. You don't want to get to half a mill then blow it all on 1 torney and have to start over with just a 1000. Also when your playing with fake money just play super tight and shovve when you get a monster hand. Someone will always call at the low limits. Most of the time more than 1 will call so you can double trip up with 1 hand. |

| I don't know how much real money you have to play for before people start playing real poker. Certainly the micro limits are hardly any better than play money. Well, they are, but they're still crazy. I just don't think I would advise beginners to buy-in to a decent game if they don't know what they're doing. Sure, it's good for the rest of us, but maybe that's why 80-90% of poker players lose money. Actually, I think it's better to learn for free, but learn the right way to beat those types of players -- don't copy them. Read books and join forums like this, then once you have a foundation, you can maybe move into real money without getting blasted. |

The main thing I learned playing with play money is to be patient. Not necessarily going all-in when I get a great hand, but waiting for the crazies to get knocked out, (or helping knock them out). That's a good thing for real poker, too, although I will have to admit maybe I'm too patient and need to loosen up some. Toward the end of a play money tournament, people play pretty normal. I think it's because although they have no money invested, they have time invested. It still sucks to lose after you've put a lot of time into something. The neat thing is you can play correctly for the situation and not have to worry about losing money, which might make you play too timidly. I've always felt that the best competitions don't have money riding on them; just playing for pride is a great motivator. The Olympics epitomizes that. I even bet that for some well-to-do poker players, they'd rather win a WSOP bracelet than the money. Money is fleeting, you win it, you lose it. But you'll always be a bracelet winner and that's what people look at when they compare the best players against each other. |
