If you play on the Internet, why not come out and experience a live game where every player at the table handles the cards and chips and interacts with the rest of the players. See the expressions when they are bluffing or not. Learn how to deal a real hand of poker, plus the betting and blind routine.
It can get real interesting when blinds are three and six thousand and you may only have a little more than that.
