I've done partypoker and pokerstars both, I prefer pokerstars a bit. Partypoker seems to have a lot more all-in punks in the bigger tables.

It's not only not fun, it isn't even poker. All it's doing is essentially cutting for high card. You can't bluff anyone out of a pot, so whoever gets dealt the best hand winds. It's really popular for 12 year olds who get dealt the occasional full house, bet the ranch and delude themselves into believing they accomplished something.

Uhm...why can't you bluff? You can always bluff.
I am not a huge fan of poker online...it's not the same as sitting around a table with some friends and some drinks.

You can learn without money. You just have to convince yourself that it's real.

if you're really really concerned about spending too much money, but don't like the idea of free tables, you can always try 1 cent poker at paradisepoker.com. of course, the rake can really eat at you with only 2 players seated.

Apparently you don't know how to play. If you've got the cards, bet. You probably whine when it takes a large buy-in to see the flop too, don't you?
