Yeah I also disagree with the topic creators view on learning the game. Like previous posters have said, the play money tables are either under aged kids who don't have access to a credit card or people just playing around. Playing in play money tables can actually mess up your game.

If you want to get better at playing poker, even the low stake games don't cut it, you will get tired of bad beats.

The best thing to do is to play a good solid amount of sit n go's, don't get discouraged if you don't place for quite some time, you will eventually get the hang of things if you just stick to the poker basics.
