Default Different everywhere

I use 5 of them and they are different for every site.
I think it is a bad idea to just have one.
Although if you want to play me where I have robert2504 as the screen name, I must warn you. I play the .01/.02 microlimit with this one. . I do play $2/$4 on other sites but under another screen name. I use the microlimits to vent after bad beats. So I start tossing a lot of pennies .
That helps me.
So no, it will not help you because I will be playing very different and even if you beat me, you will not be getting rich.

Thanks for the help.

I just had a bash at play money tables and my god, everyone played everyhand. The problem was it was limit, and virtually all the table went to the river in some small hope to win the pot. 95% of the time the best starting hand got bust, however aggressive you played it..lol ohh the joy.

Post Play tables good for something

I think that playtables are good because eventually some of these people will become the fish. Playtables are just like fish egg nests waiting to hatch.

Jackass has a point...people play badly at play money tables, but isnt that what you want? Sure theyll lay some bad beats on you, but dont we preach to everyone who complains that we want them to make those bad calls because it will make you money in the long run?
I dont see anything wrong with playmoney tables to start out with, if you go in with the right mindset: tight aggressive play.

Wait, isnt that how you want to play any game?

play money is ridiculous. everyone just pushes all their chips in with a decent hand, and calls all their chips in with a semi decent hand. i don't think i've seen many people not play every hand. BAH!

I have found that play money tables bear little if any resemblance to real money tables. The only use I have found for play tables is to get a feel for the game interface. Otherwise, winning or losing at play money tables is worthless.

the only real purpose of play money is to get a feel for the game play and interface. otherwise, it is essentially nothing like poker. without any risk, he game play cannot be anything close to what it is when money is actually on th eline.
