The Pros of Play Money Poker
Every online cardroom offers online poker with play money to
help you learn the game. The play money feature is essential to
any site, since in fact over half the volume of online poker
players are using play money. The positives include the fun
factor, learning the rules, and the obvious, you can't lose any
money.
Enjoyment of competition draws thousands of players to play
money ring games and tournaments every day. Will I hit a
straight flush? Will I get dealt aces? The fun of winning a
freeroll or saying you have $1,000,000 in your account is the
final goal some online players look to accomplish.
The best way to learn the rules of online poker is by playing
hands, and if you don't want to risk any cash online, play money
is the perfect forum. Every newbie sitting around their family's
dining room table learns this way, having fun without wagering a
real dime. You can learn about the blind structure, the dealer
button, what hands beat what, rounds of betting, and how to
click fold, call, or raise. Play money allows you to get
familiar with an online cardroom before sitting down with a
table of sharks.
