Since they introduced those ridiculous play money changes on pokerstars it feels much harder to just practice different poker strategies and approaches with how little play money you get a day.

Before it was easy to waste 10000 play chips on trying to do new stuff sincethey were fairly easy to replenish and build up but now if you don't already have a huge amount of them it feels like you have to play every game the same.

So where would be a good place to practice online poker? I am looking for a place where people will try to play well but the play money always comes in plenty.

It is 100% better to play some freerolls. Why you playing for play money? Try ACR, I like the software very much and it has a lot of daily freerolls. I am not saying that freerolls is a good place to practice but playmoney are terrible.

I played on a site called Advanced poker training. It is a pay site but they have daily tournaments where the people play poker for the most part. You still get some lose cannons. It also has articles and other training.

Playing chips will not learn anything. Will always remember that nothing to lose. It interferes with the game.

I have some money on a site that I have never deposited on that I can't get off until I do. I use that as my practice spot. I am playing a real game for real cash, but I am not worried about losing it as it is money I never expect to see. I can focus on making proper decisions and not worried about someone sucking out.

I agree. Play some freeroll tournaments on acr they have them 24/7. Get a chance to win some money and play in micros!

I am from Europe so I don't think I can play on ACR :(

Also one could argue that freerolls aren't all that different from play money since in both cases there isn't really anything to lose.

It is always better to play for real money for a few cents. When playing for play money there is nothing to lose and many players play all hands with very poor hands and it does not make sense to be able to learn and improve the game this way

Ok , ofcourse the best practice is with real money on cash game tables or on tournaments/sngs .
But I used to play the freerolls , in the past , at duckpoker/ACR 10$ , players from Europe can play them too , and also I play some sngs/tournaments with play money on the pokerstars platform , although many would say this is not right , I just do this to see some hands from some positions played by me , not to learn how to play awesome poker ofcourse .
And freerolls ofcourse at 888 or pokerstars , most those of CC , play , learn and win some bankroll money :)

I would recommend going to a site that takes US players then play freerolls and deposit a small amount - play the penny tables. You're not going to find great players but even just a tiny amount of money will make the game much more realistic.
A $20 deposit wont get you rich but its a cheap price for some good practice

I'll say it again, playing freerolls might be a better idea since you can practice for free and make real money out of it.
Anyway, Playmoney isn't bad, I use it when I get bad beats and want to calm down...

I think is better to play freerolls, you can win some cash to play others tournaments, and many players chips goes wild with any hand and you don´t have any chance to improve your game in that type of plays, but you can face with the same in freerolls but less frecuently. The main idea is play for free, pratice and win some cash...good luck.

Sadly, there is not any online poker site that has players that play sound and not like a manaic.

However, I like to play at 888 as well as pokerstars to me they are both great sites.

BetOnline has freerolls running every hour of the day, so if you are trying to learn poker tournament strategy you should probably start there because you don't even need to deposit to start playing.

Other than that I would suggest Pokerstars/Full tilt for playing with play chips.

Try to play freerolls and you have chance to win some money if you are good. You can also play on facebook Zynga poker, but there you can't earn any money. Just playing for fun and practicing.

Best place to learn to play is ACR freerolls, they have freerolls every hour. Playing with play money isn't bad, but isn't good.
