Hello. I am brand new to FTR. I am also pretty new to online poker. Before I go and throw my money into the ring of online poker, I was wondering, will it be beneficial to play the play money tables first? Will I get better at playing poker, or are the people playing there going to do nothing but teach me bad habits?

I spent quite a few days reading the beginner guides and the FAQ's and many other articles regarding pot odds and hand strengths, etc, but I did not find anything that answered this question specifically.

Thanks for the great site.

Bill
