Pros in Play Money at FTP

N.D. · Dec 30, 2008

So do they play for real or just as bad as most because it's play money? I've only ever sat at a razz table with Mandy B and she folded all but one hand for what seemed like hours...

I'm on a waiting list for HORSE where David Bradley's playing, and hoping his presence will at least keep me on my toes. It's quite a bit higher than I usually play but it's just play money so there's absolutely 0 fear. I just really hope he plays for real.

Do you play for real? @ the play money tables

N.D. · Dec 30, 2008

Actually, yeah I do. I'm definitely not as selective with starting hands, but just as careful post-flop.

Sorry was in omaha mindset, I of course mean during the hand after initial cards are dealt.

Well i've actually played with Chris Ferguson on his play money table NL holdem 1000/2000. He never actually played he just folded really but this one hand he won oghh well it really made the people at the table see he is actually a pro! but yeah i guess pro's don't really play as good at play money table for the reason that is play money it's just for the fun of them! I guess they like to feel better by kicking some ass down theree XD

play money=waste of time

if anything that makes u worse, the only reason they are on there is because they get paid for being signed by the site but also get paid by the hour. (i'm friends with a pro signed by fulltilt) so some pros will just get paid by playing chips and not risk their own money

Pro players have big targets on their backs. Play money makes the target hits not hurt.

Its just good for their company so they have the image that you don't even have to risk any money to play with team Full Tilt.

That and the pros earn a nice hourly wage for being at a table. I think it's at a table, maybe its only real money tables or just for being online.

I forgot their exact pro payments, they have different tiers and payments, hourly wages, retainers, etc. Anyone have exact (or basic) figures?

He mostly folded and none of his hands held up so...

Not that I did any better, but then my name's not in red

Most contracts that the pros have with the big sites state they have to play a certain amount of time on the free\low limit tables to help draw in more people.

i dont think i have ever seen a pro at a table especially play tables... what sites do you all see them at the most??.. id like to get in a table w/ a pro..

Full Tilt I think. Beyond that I've seen Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth in $5 buy-in tournaments at UB.
