All In

Have you ever noticed in some of the online poker rooms that if you're playing for play money, people go all in ALL the time? Those two words should only be uttered once, MAYBE twice a game.
Of course, you don't have much of a strategy when there's nothing on the line.

That's why I recommend everyone play for money. It doesn't have to be your life savings. There are rooms that let you play for change. If you get 9 people to play for 5 bucks a piece, and winner-takes-all, you're going to watch when you bet, aren't you? Everyone could use an extra 45 dollah. Alls I's sayin' is, you can't expect to get better at the game if you don't gamble a little.
