What is a good site to play free online poker? I have started playing this "sport" lately, and have a big tournament on Friday night, so I want to try and hone my skills a bit online first. Anyone know of any good free sites?
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

But online play, especially freeplay, isn't going to do much for your practice. It takes a completely different skill set to play online versus brick and mortar casinos. Poker is won by one thing, knowing how much to bet at each stage. If you're bluffing, you have to bet enough to scare them out, if you're semi bluffing, you have to make it worth the pot, if you've got a real hand, you have to bet enough to make the take but low enough to get them in, or you need to know when to fold your set if you're looking at an early position raise from a normally tight player with three to a flush on the board. It's all about the bet in the end, and with freeplay, it just doesn't matter enough for you to learn the skills needed to hone your betting properly.

Yeah, I know all the rules.
"and with freeplay, it just doesn't matter enough for you to learn the skills needed to hone your betting properly" - good point, but it cant hurt right.
Joseph Hachem did make it into the World Series by playing online afterall didnt he? Though, it was probably for cash.
Ill check out that site. Man, you must love your poker living in Vegas! Ample chance to play! I only get to play twice a week here where I live.
Thx for the site.

CLOONEY,
Good idea to improve your poker skills with online poker. Thats precicely what I've done.
My personal advice: if you really want to learn poker strategy, get yourself a mentor. Someone who plays online, preferably that you know in real life, who is above average. Someone that can log onto play, and in 30 minutes are up +100$ on a regular basis.
Its nice to play over and over (thanks to online) but you need someone opening your eyes to the mistakes you make.
If thats not a possibility for you, atleast read up on various poker strategy web sites (usually written by ex or current professionals).
My story:
I played in person maybe a few times a month with friends. Never took too much interest in online, never really cared.
My buddy excels in poker. Hes one of those guys I mentioned above. He turned a few hundred dollars online to his current situation of almost $7,000.
Well, a little more than a month ago, I helped this friend out with something so he transfered me over 10$ on Poker Stars. I said, meh, might as well use it.
We played in games together or he would watch me play to see if I was winning. He would always tell me what I did wrong with that particular hand,via MSN Messenger. Gradually my eyes started to open. I also got to watch how he plays, its amazing.
This buddy of mine can predict what other players has in their hand (or close to it), based on their betting, and betting patterns.
With his help I've turned that $10 into over $200 and growing. Nothing too amazing, but hey, I enjoy playing, and I make money
Any more questions just ask.

Yeah, good points Jimbo. I have a few mates who play, one who competes at tournaments regularly and usually manages to come out on top. He won about $600 last week.
Well the tournament is tonight, so should be interesting, apparently there is going to be a couple of real amateurs at the table, so at least I will have one up on them. And another one of the guys is a real bluffer, even if he never holds any good cards, so he should be an easy beat also. Should be able to come out on top tonight, just need to add a bit more patience to my game. I play too many bad hands just because I become bored when I am dealt several bad hands in a row.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Well, I played my tournament the other day. Ended up exactly even! Was a bit up, but left right on the dollar after 4+ hours. Good night, got no luck at the start, but ended well.
The more you play, the more you become addicted! But lol, there is no way I do it to make money, I do it for fun.
BTW, anyone watching the World Poker Championship? How about that Nobles guy, the used car salesman, hahaha, he sucks big time! Getting so damn lucky on some of those flops and especially on the River! Only a matter of time until he crashes and burns IMHO!

Check up Full Tilt Poker. They've got some a great free play software if you're looking to practice. They're one of the top 5 currently as far as number of people online at any given time.
Then there's MansionPoker.net.
I just got on here, but that's because I'm going to try my hand at real cash, and I like the fact that you can get in these rooms and begin at .05/.10 blinds.
