Poker with a Dummy

I've tried playing Texas Hold'em poker, but I really can't play that well. I've been staying in an in-patient treatment facility and on my weekly visits my friend brings cards and chips and we play three handed poker. It's me and him and a "dummy" player to keep it from being just us two. I don't win that much. On a lot of the hands the dummy even beats me and takes my chips.

I'm going to start practicing online at Absolute Poker and see if I can get any better.
