See you will spend a lot of time learning how to play against total retards and once you think you have that mastered you'll think "well I have a million play moniez now I'll grind the real money." you'll make your deposit and think hey I have 20bi's for 10nl so what the hell. You most likely think "shouldn't be long at all before I build my roll up for 25nl then 50nl so like a month or two.You'll be amazed when you suddenly find yourself in a totally different game.Nothing at all appears familiar. These people are totally different. What the hell I thought I had this figured out. Hopefully you'll not get depressed and give up on the game. Or you could do as suggested and play maybe a couple more days of play money until you've read EVERY PIECE OF THIS also you'll do this, deposit $50 and start playing 2nl one table at a time. You'll post hands in the forum and get great feed back. You'll get involved in lots of great conversatoin in IRC. Within a day or two you'll notice "Hmm this isn't to bad." Your roll will slowly build as will your confidence. You'll start playing a few tables at a time. Boom you'll suddenly be rolled for 5nl and shortly after 10nl. Then you'll find yourself saying "Damn I'm sure glad I didn't waist all that time F&^%#$* around with play money!
No matter what you do enjoy the game and take advantage of all the resources here at FTR.
I am also amazed you've not gotten the "Show us your tits or gtfo yet!
Thank you for this!! Much appreciated. I was already getting that idea from everyone else's comments, but you spelled it out oh-so-clearly and now it's very obvious to me why play money should be a short lived venture and then I need to start penny games.
