Re: Do you think this will help or hurt my poker game?

But playing with bad players shouldn't hurt your game if you understand the theory behind everything you're doing. And that's what you should be working towards. When you're up against better players you'll know what plays work against them and which ones you'll need to avoid. But these days there's no reason to need to play against good players. There are more than enough fish out there who want to give you their money.

Bingo, I agree with everything said in this post (including the deleted portion about dropping the boyfriend and calling me). Also some preceding posts had it right -- if you can play for chips and treat the chips as money, then you'll be fine. If you start calling with draws you know are theoretically wrong -- "I'll just see the turn with these pocket deuces to see if I can make a set. It's only play money!" then you certainly WILL learn bad habits.
