About the Author:  Diamond Jack Margo

Quick Bio: 'Diamond' Jack Margo is a 12 year poker veteran who's unorthodox style can only be likened to the drunken boxer tecnhique. When not rope-a-dopeing opponents, Diamond Jack can be found writing code in Weston, Florida.

Free Poker: The Batting Practice of Poker
The great pitcher Sandy Koufax once said, "People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball." So it would seem with Josh's view of playing free online poker.

While some people may come out of the gate as a vunderkindt of poker with the proper combination of luck, analysis and skill, those prodigies are few and far between. Poker is chess with money, and the thought of not spending hours as a child honing both games is unimaginable.

Free poker games are, of course, not for everyone. It's specifically for beginner players who are learning the rules of the game and the subtle nuances of the game. For the most part, you will always have a level playing field with people looking to increase their prestige or poker ability.

Sure, you'll find an occasional stalker in the crowd that likes to beat beginners down cause he's got some childhood repression. Just avoid them or be patient and learn how to bust someone out. There's always something to learn from every encounter.

From there, one will graduate up to $1+$.10 sit & go's or Lucky Dollar-type tournament play. You take on 2500 people, at least 1/2 of which will go out in the first 45 minutes. Why? Because they didn't practice and didn't learn how to not go in with a 7-3 off suit or Ace-Trash.

The main point I want to make is this: While Josh believes that you will find bad habits at a play money poker game, I will insist that you will gain more from the practice if you treat it like a real game with real money. At every level you will find bad players who do stupid things (trust me on this, if you read my poker journal it is filled with jackoffs that go all-in and beat me with crap). It's inherent in the game. Learning how to finesse and mitigate the damage of such people is a skill you could never pay enough for. Fortunately, you can learn that online for free. :)

"With no actual risk of loss, no understanding of reward comes and, thus, no actual lesson on how the game should best be played." This line is the crux of James Abel's article which warns against playing free poker for the wrong reasons.

A gentlemen's disagreement
There's an old saying ... that if you can't find the sucker at the table, then it's probably you. Thus, if you are pretending that a free game is for real money, just don't be disappointed when it's time to cash out. Well, at least if feels the same as when you go broke. Poker is played for money, period.

I don't like Spring Training
Baseball metaphors get the blood going around this time of year as we learn which multi-millionaire is going to hold out because his megadeal is no longer the biggest in the league, and his parking spot is too far from the clubhouse. But while I agree that freerolls have certain merits for aspiring poker students (not many, but a few), they are still not a quality poker training environment for reasons mentioned in my own article.

Taking sides.
Have to agree with Jack on this one. Free rolls played right can bring a massive benefit for the beginner wishing to advance to proper cash games. True, it is not everyone's cup of tea, but done right - it can only help.
