I was on last night at a play money table and my wife was there also.....she was blocking her screen from me so I couldn't see what she had even on hands I had already folded
Play money poker is hard to consider as poker. There is no consequence for losing. The majority play any two cards to the river and "see what happens, who cares its not real money".
If you survive that donkeyfest and think you can play real. Buy in the minimum and take 4 bucks to the .02/.04 tables , they play the same as playmoney. After 50k hands if you are up, I'd say you have a good chance at the micro limit tables.
When first started I took 300x the bigblind and sat at the .05/.10 tables. I ran stats on 50k hands to judge my performance, safe to say I'm a consistant winner since 2000. Again, I don't hide myself from the player search. If anyone is on pokerstars look me up as chuckthepug and say hi.
