Message: [QUOTE="x2486, post: 1573359, member: 72408"] Right, I didn't say anything about play money teaching you good poker. It's obviously a sea of donkeys, but to use your analogy, if you're getting your butt kicked in the dojang, then entering a tournament is going to be a very painful way to learn. Do you feel that you learned nothing by spending all that time at the play money tables? Were you losing at play money when you decided to switch to real money? I don't know what OP's skill level is, but spewing $400 in a few hours indicates that he has some serious learning to do before he should consider depositing more cash if he cares about his money. (Which I assume he does or he wouldn't have started this thread.) Obviously bankroll management is a key issue for him, probably combined with a tilting problem. If he can weather the aggravation and variance one sees when playing with donkeys, while learning the patience and self control it takes to actually beat them and build a play money bankroll instead of blowing it all, then I think he'll have a solid foundation for improving his skill at higher levels. Also, the skill level does improve a bit as you move up to the highest play money levels. Still not the same as real money, but I don't think it would be a wasted effort. I spent about 8 months using play money when I first started, and when I moved to real money I only made one $25 deposit. (Though I did supplement that a couple of times early on by selling my play money.) I'm just advising this because it worked for me, OP needs to figure out what will work for him. [/QUOTE]
