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.
