Message: [QUOTE="zinzir, post: 5364121, member: 406896"] In my opinion one doesn't need to spend money to learn how to play poker or to gain experience. For the basics and software familiarization playing for chips is enough, and for tournaments there are freerolls. To say that spending $200 to find "flopomania" was an investment sounds like rationalizing to me. Even for knowledge, one doesn't have to invest any money initially as there are a lot of free articles and pdf version of books or at least parts of them on the net, reading those first would be a more conservative approach. Once you familiarize yourself with the free information you are more likely to purchase a book that will cover the information you want to receive as not all books cover the same type of information, and even then, purchase a used version from Amazon or Ebay at a fraction of the cost, not a new one.
