Play Money Tournaments -worth the time?

[MaverickCC]

Play money is good for novice players to get a feel for the game, the software and to help gain familiarity with playing in an online environment. It is not good for learning strategy, way too many people play "bingo" and shove in with anything. freerolls are better if you can play tight aggressive and survive the 'bingo' nuts at the beginning. After the field thins up in general you'll be playing better poker, will get some decent practice without hurting or depleting a bankroll. After which you'll be ready to fund your account and jump in some real money tables. Reading books, forums and watching live events where the pro's play is also invaluable.

I like play money cause you can screw around and play however you like. You can play play money anytime you like its overall a good situation. I learn stuff I might not have learned just by grinding away low stakes real money games.

I feel like this when i play tournaments online..

If the buy in isn't to high the players that have joined play all crasy hands and this is just sad..

If u play a bit bigger buy in tournament then all the people in it are a bit more careful of their money and doesn't play with all kind of hands..
