but.. does anyone know a good site to play poker against real people but not for real money? I heard a lot of beginners in practice would play on Full Tilt, but FTP seems to be having a lot of problems lately. Anyone know another site?/ Again, dont want to gamble, just want a site to play against other players. Thanks All   | ||

Once you start playing, it's a good idea to post hands that you have trouble with in poker forums. | ||

Americans don't have the luxury of playing on party/stars for real money. We're stuck with slow cashouts and sketchy sites (merge/cake). On the other hand, WPT has a site up, where you can pay a lot amount (I think it's like $10 or $20) for a subscription and win prizes, I never tried it, but it might be up your alley. | ||

I would rather suggest study poker theory and try to cash in a small amount of money (like $15) and play in micro limits. Pokerstrategy is a good place to start and they always have been supporter of esports so don't hesitate to create an account there. I don't know if american are elligible to the $50 Bankroll tho | ||

If you can't beat retards on play money, you have no business playing cash games. Poker is all about taking retards money, so play money is actually a pretty good learning tool to start with. | ||

Yes pretty much this. You are better off throwing $20 on a site and playing for pennies than playing for nothing. | ||

I don't understand our government, in this country you can own and use an assault rifle, you can parade around the street in nazi uniforms calling for the extermination of the jews, you can sell people fake new-age medical cures and get rich quick schemes; yet the thing that crosses the line is online poker? Really congress? | ||

I'm not a poker player and don't follow the scene at all but I'm just curious since I see this blog :p As far as I know legally some states are not but others are okay and most players understand that they play at their own risk. I have never heard of any problems with anyone playing. There is some legislation in congress that is being worked on to try to legalize online poker throughout the states. Recently, Fulltilt and Pokerstars were shut down here but there are other options. | ||
