Is play money really good practice?

I'm asking seriously, because I would think that it would actually hurt your game. I think it would be much better to play for pennies, but at least real money.

Could be good if you found some good player to play you hu so you could learn cheaply. Otherwise, I would guess it would be pretty useless for game improvement.

And I believe Poker Room has HU play money tables.

The lowest I've seen are the $100NL HU tables at Cake. Do they go lower at any other site?

Yes. FWIW, I think playing the play money tables would be a terrible way to learn anything about poker.

The lowest stars go is $2 but that is SnG, and I wanted to try out cash HU.

I guess play money can boost confidence, otherwise yeah, not that useful.

Yeah, and if I am lucky enough to play against someone willing to try with the play chips.
