Real money or play money?

[Sparta77]

Poker is really exciting and sharp when you have a stake.

 

[NSX_Amfe2nat]

Only real, no sense for playing on other

On GG poker you get a limited amount of play chips per day, unlike e.g. pokerstars where you can buy them. On pokerstars plenty of players will just see any flop for any bet below all-in, On GG you only have 2 table values, that's it. And in the lower one people practice a bit and then play the higher one. I started off with about 150k chips after a couple of days collecting free chips without playing. In about a month i had about 13 million chips and had lost interest a bit playing for achievement only. And with play chips people will play pretty reckless indeed. But it's a good test, if you're not able to get your chip count up even against bad players and bingo players, it might not be a good idea to play for real money

Real money, off course...

"Play money" is a bingo!!

Play money can be useful when you are a totally beginner, but unfortunately the players there are also beginners and playing every card with all-in. I suggest to go to freerolls. There are also a lot of maniacs, but you can get a real picture about the tournaments and you can learn something, not just 'all-in with every hand' tactics.

I don’t like playing with play money because it doesn’t feel as exciting. I prefer playing with real money since it brings responsibility and a more authentic experience.

 

[Magallaneroy]

Only real money, that way you play better

 

[pltelles]

I only play for real money, I don't play just for fun, but for the money.

 

[percrackk]

People in play money are crazy, non risk-bad playing, I think you can’t consider play money as training.
If you don’t have real money, you can practice on free rolls (people use to play a lil better)

Real

 

[UngureanuDan]

Why do you even play, play money?

 

[schtiuky]

i think play money are like demos are good for learning the basics but if you really want to learn the game real money opens a new door.

 

[LiviuRo123]

I usually prefer real money games because the action feels more serious and players take it more carefully. But I also play some play money games just for fun and to practice new strategies without risk.

I've found that I lose less money on Zynga Poker

 

[Leandro Moecke]

Só aqui com dinheiro real você realmente joga pôquer

I think the fictional one is only worth it if you really make the same decisions you would make with real money, otherwise it will only ruin your game

 

[wyvern777]

Only real money only here do you really play poker

You can only learn by losing.

 

[Baco]

Only real money aways

 

[flabilim]

DPlay money, leads the person to play in any way, enter with any hand, maybe if he had real money he wouldn't do that

 

[Uncloggie]

Play money is for newbs .
People play worse and its a great way to learn bad habits

 

[Natox]

Hey there,
if you want to focus on specific things, such as position, testing out your three-betting ranges (both bluffs and value), play money can be helpful. A feel for your own game and attention to what's happening can improve. However, you'll never be able to simulate a situation with real money. But practice is practice. There are many things to learn, where you dont focus on the outcome.

 

[JaviCR80]

There's much difference between play money and real money games.
It's about the same like if you play a freeroll or a 100$ buyin MTT.

I would only do play money until you understand the basics, then make some money with freerolls and then play with the winnings of the freerolls.

This is the correct answer, and a good way to get started in poker if you are a beginner.

 

[Viking26]

Aomeone who newer played poker should start with play money...gain experience and Than play real money

 

[Yaviness]

I truly believe that playing for real money even if it for things like a 0.40 cent entry ticket or as little as it may seem, gives much more fun and crazy experience that gives the best poker experience

 

[DarkSage]

Poker can only makes sense when there's actually something at stake.

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]
