and Matt, I couldn't agree more. Maybe I'm the only idiot left who plays in play money games or tables with the intention of playing like I had REAL $$ on the line, as it's a sure-fire way to improve my game; but alas, there;s always idiots who will call my re-raise with 8-3 off suit when I'm holding pocket cowboys! AND they'll SUCK out EVERYTIME!!
The REAL fun is playing home games or tourneys in casinos. that's where you can REALLY hone your skills, but if you're not careful, you CAN lose your shirt! LOL
I started playing on Pokerstars beta site and ended up selling my playchips (12 million of them) for $120. I got up to about $1300 then got stupid and started playing expensive stuff. I eventually cashed out at $400 and stopped playing as it was consuming way too much time. Not bad for $0 invested though.
