[B][COLOR="Red"]VERY WELL STATED DJ ... EXACTLY !!![/COLOR]

I had actually forgotten about the "play money" aspect of 'learning' poker ... I did a lot of what you stated herein (not all of it) several years ago for maybe 2 years before I ever played a 'real money' Tournament or Cash game...back when Pokerstars & Full Tilt was in their prime for USA players.

Thought I'd never reach 100,000 in play chips (took many months) and then I did ... it seemed much easier after that goal was reached ... "my perspective changed".  The most I ever attained was a little more than 4.2 million in play chips (even sold a couple million in play chips at $20 (real money) per million. I'd often transfer 100,000 to other players to help get them started with a different 'perspective'.  My biggest "single hand loss was 998,000" (play chips) when I had AAAA and lost to the first "straight flush" I had ever seen.  LOL, a real learning experience.  DJ, I actually took "notes" back then too  :)

[U]Play money is obviously the best place to experiment and learn (practice a new strategy too)[/U].

This is worth repeating again:  "Play money poker is best for developing a respect for the game, and changing your greed (natural for poker players) to an ability to enjoy the game, regardless of the outcome. If you are not enjoying the experience, trust me, you are wasting your time trying to go pro."

My best, Wally  [/B]
