Default Where can I play On-Line Texas Hold'em Poker?

Do any of you know of a forum where I can play with others without using real money? I need to practice for my weekly poker nights.

Thank you.

if you play with fake money, you aren't going to get much out of it because people who play with fake money just go "all in" with anything. No one takes fake money seriously. The only way to practice is watch the highest limit poker online or play yourself with real money. But if you really want to play you have to download the software from the poker websites (pokerstars, partypoker, ultimate bet, etc...) Personally I don't trust online poker anymore because I have seen some outrages hands.

I play at paradisepoker.com. BTW, they have their hands audited quarterly which is something I haven't seen on the other sites I've checked out. I played at partypoker.com for a while and found their hands to be out of whack with the real world.

I play on PartyPoker. Most players on the internet and you never have to wait for a game. But yes sometimes some of the hands are unbelievable.

Jsc2k, you're right- its just not the same with fake money!
