Why play for pennies??

Basically, I'm poor. I also feel like I'm not very good, although I can tell I'm doing well when I play freerolls and I'm getting better. That being said, I'm poor. So when I do play, I will start at the lowest limits and progress from there.

As for playing sloppy because it's cheap... did I mention being poor?

Hell, I play crazy tight in amateur league poker games and tourneys online. It's just how I play.

I do experiment sometimes, but I'm taking my basic game these days and refining it.

Some people want to get their feet wet and learn how to play. Others may just want to adjust to the site before they move on to a high limits.

I disagree with play money almost the same as micro-limits. If you play on most play money sites, you'll notice most players going to the river with nothing or very bad draws. If you play NL micro-limits, even though a dollar isn't really that much, they won't call it down.

I think it's a good way to just get started and learn without losing too much money.
