I think that would be cool...I would love to learn how to play.

My BF plays all the time and when I watch him play, I have no clue what he's doing. LOL

Pogo has hold'em. You can play without risking your precious (being sarcastic here) tokens or you can bet up to 1000 tokens.

You can practice with robots or play real people. t's good if you have no idea how to play, or if you want to just get more at ease with the game.

The last time I went into O'Sheas Casino. They had a time set up for free poker lessons.

I did not attend cause I know enough about poker to give my money away without anyone else helping me , but it might be what you are looking for.

The last time I was at Vegas, my son asked one of the Palazzo floor managers if there was some way to learn blackjack, since he was curious about the game, and the manager told him they had a free schooling on blackjack at a certain time of the day.

I think the same thing may apply with learning live poker playing. Just ask one of the floor managers at one of the casinos and they should have info on learning how to play for free.

I'm not sure how long the free course will take, I'm thinking about a half hour or so, but that may depend on how many questions are asked too.

I think most casinos have game lessons. They have these short lessons on TV (some of these are really funny!) and also live lessons on the gaming floor.

I think these should be more publicized, I would like to learn about a number of games I am avoiding now because I don't know how to play them.
