the only real purpose of play money is to get a feel for the game play and interface. otherwise, it is essentially nothing like poker. without any risk, he game play cannot be anything close to what it is when money is actually on th eline.

If your buddies are worried about depositing, they can try and build a bank roll using one of the casinos online. I made $100 playing on Cirrus Casino, and they didn't give me any hassle having it put to my Neteller account. They will have to provide a VISA number I think to Neteller though. But to cash off that casino site all I did was send a copy of my ID.
Nothing like identity theft  .

if you want your friend to get better, they need to play against better people. practicing in money games is worthless.... they will never meet people who play like that for real money. play money games makes you WORSE at poker, so tell them to do what someone posted earlier and go play cheap SNG's

I think play money really depends on the game. For example, in UB play money ring games are probably the worst anywhere. I literally have not come across worse ring games. But PP sit&go play money games aren't bad, for a little change. I think the deal when choosing play money games is to never play ring games, because hey whats the point? Instead play tournaments and get practice there.
I also got slaughtered at first a little while ago when I made the transition from sit&gos (which originated with me and my buddies) to ring games. In 10 handed buy-in tournaments its important to be balsy, whereas in ring games its EXACTLY the opposite. This is what took me so long to figure out. |

And I disagree that play in play money Sit&gos make you a worse player. In fact they can make a money player a better player, by forcing him to adapt to his circumstances. Regardless of people calling to the river with nothing every hand, a better player should be able to adapt to play against this style and win.
If a better player can't win against a worse player, then poker is flawed. |
