When I started out as a young teen, I use to play just $5 buy-in ring games with about 5 guys. If someone lost $10-$15, nothing too big. As we grew up we started to cash in with more and more money. Gaining experience when less money is involved was my transition into poker, so to speak.
I would suggest your friends get a decent ring game going among them and have a low buy-in, say $20, not enough to break the bank, but enough that they will all want to win some cash and pay more attention to the game. With experience comes skill, IMO

Advice
I would actually suggest that they play single-table S&G tables...
$10+1 or $5+.50, stay away from the $5+1. This will give them some much needed experience and teach them patience. Ring-games can bust a beginner-player quickly if they run into cold cards or just tilt away their cash. Edit to add: I am talking on-line of course. Playing ring-games with your buddies is always a good start to learning this game. (Just don't get too cocky when you beat that game and move on to another.... you may just find your game wasn't very strong afterall. Last edited by ChipFish; 11-01-04 at 02:40 PM. |

Avoid freerolls and play money games at all costs, they will not help anyone when they just see time after time people playing any 2 suited cards and rivering a flush, bad idea.

Agreed
Very different when you get pocket Ts with play money and pocket Ts with real money. In play money, there is no way that you will get me to fold them. But with real money, raise the BB 5X and I will fold like an accordian.

Different everywhere
I use 5 of them and they are different for every site.
I think it is a bad idea to just have one. Although if you want to play me where I have robert2504 as the screen name, I must warn you. I play the .01/.02 microlimit with this one.  . I do play $2/$4 on other sites but under another screen name. I use the microlimits to vent after bad beats. So I start tossing a lot of pennies .That helps me. So no, it will not help you because I will be playing very different and even if you beat me, you will not be getting rich. |

It comes down to sure people play retarded in play $. But if you can't win at that how do you expect to win micro limits and higher. I would say play micro over play money though. Alot of people have this fear of putting money in
online, but i get bored if there is nothing to win so it's better to learn with something at stake. Clear as MUD? |
