I'm assuming the bonus and where it says "play money" section is just for fake money right?"
OK, quick tutorial about how to use FTR. Go to the Beginner's Digest and start reading some articles.

Read this: Importance of Rakeback and Bonuses.

And this: Bankroll Management 101

And this, too: Spoon's rant "Bankroll Management for people with Balls"

You need rakeback, you need bonuses. I would NOT deposit until I had my Carbon account affiliated with a rakeback provider. Others can give suggestions about which ones are best.

You also need software, so look at PT3 free 60 day trial, or HEM2 free trial.

Don't start playing for real money, yet, take a couple of days to learn about online poker and how to maximize your profits at the micros.
