PokerStars Play Money

[antonis32123]

I have the impression that since the changes less players are playing with play money . Now as far as for the tournament changes , I like the 5k tournaments.Although , there shouldn't be a max limit ,I think , of 750 entrants to this , neither to the 10k tournament , and the 10 min late registration of the 5k tournaments should also apply to the 10k's .

Just wondering, does the structure change also impact Homegames on Pokerstars? Before, Homegames could have pretty low buy ins, but did they raise the limits for Homegames?

 

[Hello_how are you]

I dislike this new PM format because you are getting less value every time you reload. Before you got 3000 chips/hour, which is 3 SnGs/hour. Now you get 12500 chips/4 hours and that is only 1.25 SnGs/4 hours. The play chip is now severely devalued.

+1 Good Point. If Pokerstar chips are now devalued, then does that mean that there is an opportunity to start selling them again?

Monetizing Play Money

The skinny on this, is that they make it so impractical to play with actual Play Money, that you have to end up buying these valueless chips, or quit playing.

Yes, you get to reload 30,000 play chips every 4 hours. Sounds fair enough until you realize that the lowest SNG buy-in is 20,000 for a Turbo. A turbo could last half an hour or so if you're a good player who typically finishes above average.

Don't imagine you can play your way out of the rebuy zone though, with 3,000 Entry Fee from your 20,000 Buy In. No way you can turn a profit.

Similar thing in the Cash Games, no stakes below 50/100 and insane rake. No way you can make 30,000 last for close to 4 hours. They want you to pay for chips, people.

really nice work on pokerstars with the playmoney games and tornaments also really nice that slots are allowed too negative point is that some slots are not included to play with play money

Pokerstar will push to spend real money.

I do not even notice. I have not played with play money. And it's not fun to play with play money, a person behaves quite differently with them. They are not afraid to lose them, and from such a game there is not any fun.

I think because they now allow you to reload 12000 chips every few hours.

The fun is winning the hand with the worst hands in poker, then brag about how good you are in the chat, that's always fun, it's play money who cares.

I don't think, that allowing you to top up 12k play money chips per 4 hours can conpensate the loss you have because of the changes in buy-in amounts...
Now - 12k chips / 4 hours (Lowest buy-in 10k)
Before - 12k chips / 4 hours (Lowest buy-in 1k)
I believe the difference is quite noticeable... Only now you are allowed to take all 12k chips at once, but wait another four hours till the next free chips comes...
When before the changes you were allowed to take 3k free play chips in every single hour...
I loved to play poker at Play Money because there you can basicly improve your poker skills for FREE.

Play money poker is getting wild

I noniced it 5 days ago , thought it was a problem to my account only ,maybe a restriction or whatever . I didn't send them an email , I have bothered them a lot lately .
Maybe it 's because many had a lot of chips , many thousands , so they changed it for these games to be more interesting , who knows , hope they're testing it for sometime and take it back , it was much better as it was .
They changed even the zoom I loved to play .
Now the only way to play 1$ 10$ play money is on the slots on the casino games .

I think we should step together and help eachother Join this kik group PokerstarsPM and we talk there...

 

[MickeyTee969]

The thing that pisses me off is they changed their cash games (play money) format to only Zoom games now??? WTF happened to 6 and 9 players regular cash game where you sit at a table and play the same table until you leave...??...Now you can't chat with anyone because you change table every hand and you can never "get uesd" to the player sitting across the table from you which is a big part of the game...Can anyone else here still see regular cash games in free play?

 

[MickeyTee969]

free play chips refill is 15K every 4hrs. I have never paid for free chips...whats the point??? Might as well just take your money and go play real cash games

i think play money is a waist of time
it has nothing to do with real money games

I agree. it is better to play for real money, even on micro limits.
