If you dont cap KK preflop you need your head checked, I take it thats what you were referring to?

Yeah, exactly, and in a 5/10 limit game the cap is 40 preflop.

It is pointless to disect a play money hand. It is completely irrelevant for real money play.

Why? The same basic principles are shared between the two.

As you have never played real money games how would you know that?


Trust me man. You would do better to just deposit $50 and play the .02-.04 game rather than play the play money game.

nh, play money is like shooting fish in a barrel. And for the record to end this argument, it wasn't capped preflop, trust me.

Since Im only 16, I dont have a (legal)way to deposit $50. And my parents arent even about to sign off on that. So, for now, play money is all I have. IMO, Im getting some good experience and a lot of fun. Later down the road when Im a lot better I can start with the real money. I dont think I have enough experience or knowledge to risk real money yet, anyways. And Im not going to play with real money until I feel I can win.


Oh, really? Then what is capped? Because I thought it was the max bet in each betting round.

There are many guys on here that have bypassed the age problem. Talk to TightAgressive about it.

You should read a few books if you have not already.

You will not learn to be a winning player, or truly get better if you dont play for some real money. TRUST ME MAN. You are not the first person to say these things. You can play .01-.02 on a lot of sites. This is perfect for what you are trying to accomplish right now.



Can someone else help me out here? I dont think this guy believes me...

No, I trust you. I just feel that until I get some of the basic principles of the game done better - which I can with the play money - I need not risk real money. For example, I have lost quite a few hands against flushes and straights just because I didnt realize that they were possible. I havent even read any books yet. Heck, I havent been playing poker for a month yet.

I agree with you that the best way to learn is to play with real money, but I dont feel I have enough experience(less than a month) to risk it(even if it is just $10 dollars playing 1/2 cent games). I look forward to when I can play the 1/2 cent games or $1 SnG's, but not now.

You dont advise someone with less than a months experience to put real money into play, do you?

Also, as you read this, it might have come off a little harsh, but I did not mean for it to sound like that.

Actually yes I do advise this. Real money is the only real way to learn. Consider it paying for lessons on poker. I suggest that you read Small Stakes Hold'Em by David Sklansky and play the .01-.02 Limit game. Then work your way up from there.

The only thing that you will get from play money is the rules of the game.
