you can play for free on some sites, you can also get into money games on those sites. I do the free games, instead of gambling real money away, id rather buy bombs for the rig.

Be careful in the money games though.. Some people sign on with friends in the other seats.. then they compare notes to take the others money...

I don't and never will. Whatever you do don't play for real money unless you can happily afford to lose it, and you probably will. I've had two experiences with people I knew well. One that lost $200,000. of his customers money and another that drove his family to near bankruptcy. Why would anyone bet good money when you have no idea who is at the other end. There is absolutely no reason to believe it's fair or honest. Play for fun, play with your friends, or at least play with someone across the table from you. Don't get scammed.
