I slighty disagree to the previous posts that playmoney game is a waste of time...

Since I am a newbie, regard this post as opinion and not advice.

The thing you can do at playmoney tables is experiment.

For instance:
to try the simple strategies suggested at this site, fold when you are supposed to and such...
Play a hand like 37 flush and hope for a flushdraw at the flop, try to count outs and odds, but tell youself outloud, I SHOULDVE FOLDED...
I also tried to play tight, the points you won/lost aside, to get a feeling about what playing tight was about...(although I am probably still to be considered loose and fishy )

I still consider myself to be a crappy pokerplayer but atleast I have some experience on how my own play should work, now when I try with real € I will probably find out how I should play on the betting circus, this is where real experience is.

I have only once played limit for real € but was amased by the crap that people was playing, it was not as diffrent from playmoney as I expected.
