It's more that there's nothing of value to lose I reckon

Use pokerstars man...pokerstars.com

Problem is, I started playing for fun on there...then moved onto money games. I would recommend learning the basics by playing for fun...but dont do it online...The people you play with make stupid calls cause it means nothing to them...so therefore, you dont really learn the actuals of the game. Also, Ive always found when playing for fun...the amount of dodgy river turns and te amount of all ins, makes the game annoying and a put off.

Get some friends together for a friendly game...then put 25 quid online, and see what happens...yeah, you might lose it...but you might not...youll learn a lot quicker when your money is on the line lol

the dodgy river card is a trademark of online poker. The amount of bad beats is amazing even when a guy has a 7% out he will hit it half the time not 7% of the time. And you will lose that 25 cos the only way to win online is to play the high stakes like 2/4$ cash

That's thanks to the fact that the sites use algorithms rather than randomisation. Especially in cash games.
