Ok, I've been lurking here for a month or two, and I realize that most of you think freemoney poker doesn't count; and in many ways, I'd tend to agree. Having said that, I was hoping for some opinions of its value as a training aid. In SSHE, Sklansky says 'be glad you opponents never fold, or else you'd go broke - or something to that effect. Well, in free money poker people definately don't fold! Anyway, the way I see it, playmoney poker can teach disicpline, odds counting, and using pot and implied odds. Am I completely insane?? Also, if you can resist the urge to flame, I'd like some input as to what I'll find different at micro and small limit games online. Thanks

play money = micro limit

They're played about the same way.

sweet, i dont have to start a thread like this.

i'm one who agrees here. seeing as im poor and jobless right now. winning big money isnt a thought right now. but for sure, i'll play with play chips to keep generally on the ball, and work on the numbers aspect like you said.

oh, and freeroll whore it up too.
