Where to practice for free
 

Is there anywhere you can go to practice online for free? I find that most play money games seem too loose to offer any real experience, even at the higher levels.

I am hoping to avoid any money play right now because I started playing a month ago, killed the play tables after two weeks, and lost about a grand on the low level money tables in two weeks...now I am halfway through Harrington's HOHE Vol 1 and am cautiously looking for some payback.

I am considering working off the 100% deposit bonus at Full Tilt and so played a play money STT this weekend to check out the interface. I was shocked at how well the majority of players played. Seemed comparable to a $22 at Stars. Of course, my sample size is 1 so take it for what it's worth.

I'd suggest just B&M it to get experience, or find the ulta low limits at Party like .25/.50. I haven't really ever heard of tight play money poker.

If you're talking about cash games, Stars has .01/.02 limit games. If you can't beat these games, you aren't cut out for poker. If you're talking about SNGs, the cheapest I can think of is UB which has 1+.10 games.

look both of your posts are very noob related, and how much can i earn and learn, etc. i am not flaming you here but i highly recommend reading hoh vol 1&2, to get a better understanding of the game. More importantly, read these fourms and become an expert pushbot.

If he hasnt read any poker books EVER...I would read Theory of Poker before anything. Just my opinion.

Take a week off from playing and read posts on this forum. Then you should be more than ready. If you have 500$ go ahead and play the 10+1 Sit 'n Go's at Party poker, the opposition is miserable here. (They will call down bluffs however, so don't bluff, at least not on level 1-3.)

If incidentally you have 570$ then spend the 70 on this program: http://sitngo-analyzer.com/ - it is worth ten-fold the prize.

Not completely free, but Poker Academy Pro 2 might let you get a little more practice for your money.

Re: Where to practice for free
 

You cannot play poker for free.

If it's free, it's not poker.

That would be like asking if you can play baseball without a ball.
