i agree with what the others have said regarding play money not being that valuable in terms of becoming better at poker.
I am curious about this calculator you describe, can you provide more information on that?

Earlier I was sitting at a play money table on Pokerstars, 5/10 Small/Big blinds. Pre-flop someone bet 160 and I had pocket kings, I called. Was this the right play? According to my calculator the bet was value, the pot odds were lower (in percentage) than the win odds, so there was value, but I only had a 600 chip stack.
