Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6263304, member: 407846"] No one is saying play chips are [U]always[/U] taken seriously - all one has to do is join some play chip cash games at PokerStars lowest levels to see what a farce it can be. However, place yourself in some MTT's and you will soon discover people practice with intent. Then head over to Replay where the entire set up of the site is play money with player rankings, leagues, and a host of games that rival any real money site and the entire atmosphere is focused. My issue is never with any member saying they dislike playing with play chips or that they find it a waste of time. My issue is with people either saying that it is a 'different' game or that no one ever takes play chip games seriously. Whether all concede the fact or not, it is the same game (with admittedly varying degrees of commitment) and many people do play seriously with or without money being on the line. That is all.
