Default me

I dont have money online right now because of the fact that I have too many real life things going on right now and I still wont play with play money. The only time I play is with my GO POINTS on jetset because im trying to get to 30K to buy a pokerface. Play with the go points is really the same as real money because the players want the go points. Only warning I can give is be careful not to like I said take those bad habbits over to real money.

Im like those people when i play play money. I try to play the same but i cant. I build up soo many chips that i get reckless and say "Oh well i have anough chips." But my play from there never carries over to real money tables.

Default play money vs. real money

I totally agree that play money and real money is a drastic change in styles. I recently took up the game and play on poker stars, started with play chips and try to play the way I would with real money but after the switch to real it is vertually impossible to play the same on the play money tab. Just be carefull with your money.

Play money is real money.

$15 divided by 1mil play chips=.000015 of a cent per chip. I can't believe so many people piss away their hard earned cash at the play money tables.

exactly.

i started with playmoney tourneys on stars and that helped me fund my buck real money tourneys and all the sats to big events too.

to this day, i havent deposited one red cent, and have no intention to.

p.s.: fyi, again, im a recreational player and play only buck real money tourneys and sats on stars. no cash games or big(ger) buyin real money tourneys for me (no need/interest); i do however, regularly observe in their entirety the highest buyin tourneys on stars which i always find very informative.

Heh, I stayed up past 5am this morning to final table a freeroll at Bugsy's....for $1.05.

They do have some nice cheap tournies though, so I might be able to parlay that.
