Just wondering if we have any poker players here. I'm just picking up the game myself, and was just wondering if anyone has any online recommendations (looking for a good freeplay site for learning/practicing how to play better).
TIA

Poker Pages is a good free online setup. Just download the software, create user info and go to the freeplay games and tournaments. If you ever decide to venture into the world of online gambling for $$$ you can use the same setup and go into the pay for play sections.

i've seen pokerstars.com advertised. I've played a bit on pokerparty.com and they offer play money as well as real money play.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
Poker Pages looks good, but I can't get it to install on my laptop for some reason (freezes during install).
I tried Pokerstars, and it's excellent. I also tried Full tilt and Party poker, and they're okay, too. The biggest problem I've been running into on freeplay sites is the EXCESSIVE All-In play that goes on at the beginning of EVERY match *sigh*.

I can't speak for the others but Poker Pages (if you can ever get it to run) has both No Limit and Limit tables in Freeplay. They also have the large 100-500 player tourneys for freeplay. I agree from past experience that no-limit tables (in freeplay) suck because everyone wants to go all in with crappy hands.
