Poker is one of those games that really needs to be played for real money, otherwise there is no real incentive for people to play correctly.

Even if you are playing 5 cents 10 cents poker, it is much more realistic than playing for free.

Just my two cents,

<-- in total agreement.

I was going to say that the best way to learn is to put some money up. Basically you will never learn if you are not willing to put some money in the middle.
