10 million play chip challenge

I always make a few mil play money and sell it for 10$ a mil. The people who buy it sell it for more to people who want play money to play with. I have been selling to the same guy for a while now.

He must of bought those 2 million. I mean how would he get it exact if not.

haha so thats whos buying them...insane

I cant imagine spending 120 dollars on playchips. If its not real money, whats the difference between playing on little tables or big tables?

Not to mention - once you have over 80k you can play at any play money table for the maximum amount. 20mill is overkill.

People do buy them, it's how I started my roll...how many times do I have to say that this is for real?

130 dollars for 10 mil at playchiptrader.com . I guess I am gonna start looking into this as a viable option to fund a pokerstars account when I open one.

i'm in

is it only on pokerstars where u get 120, for 10 million, cuz I have about 6 million on party, but cant figure out where to sell them or how much, one site I seen offers like 7.50 for 5 million

party poker was ridiculously low like .20/million (or much more reasonable)

ok want to race naruto? I have 0 on pokerstars

need to make it interesting competing otherwise i'll get bored out of my mind

Glad to see people finally taking part in my challenge

I used the same guy inscore used, a couple of months ago, and I asked him why people would buy them.
He's just a poker player who buys and sells as a side business, and he then uses the money he earns to fund his own bankroll.

Well he said people will buy them for practice, if it's too hard for them to get a substantial amount themselves
and it's not really a lot of use playing the lowest play money limits. So they buy and practice with it.
Apparently, it's mostly Americans

Looks like fun, so im gonna give this a go. Ive never play with play-chips on stars, so im at 1000, what strats are people using? SnGs over ring?? Will update when i make any progress.

Well with 1k I mostly just go all in with almost ATC on the 5/10 Fr table. Then when I get 4k, with luck, or more I hit a 100/200 with 1 guy on it and try to get his stack HU. They usually have 4k 8k 12k or 40k stacks. It's hard cause people tend to join fast..

Then from there on I hit the FR tables and occasionally a SNG.

i sold 1.1 mil at starschips.com. the reason 1.1 is its hard to give up all the chips (i know play chips) that you put so much time in to getting. i sold 100k for .95c to see if it worked. about 5 mins i got my .95c(sweet). then i sold 1 mil for 10$ small br but i got it up to 70.91$ right now. and if you get there logo on your pic they give you 2 more $ for a total of 12$ per mil. havent tried that yet but i got the logo. hope it helps gl everyone

Lol you got ripped off

and how is that. do you know of a better rate

I tried to sell the guy my partypoker chips but he wouldn't take them because he already had 99 billion!

How is this thread still alive lol?

Haha, I think thats an exaggeration. Otherwise he'd have $20k tied up in a worthless comodity. I'd only keep a few days stock of these if I was trying to resell. I guess no one is buying party poker playmoney. Strange since its such a good deal .

not really strange imo since u can get like 50k (?) starting chips .. so it's a lot easier to build than from 1k

When Absolute Poker 11st started their big play chip tourney, my 1st reaction was cool, piece of cake, no problem I got this. I can't tell you how many times I got greedy and lost it all only to start back over again! I have still never made it into the million buy-in. Wtg on building them and challenging yourself- and others lol.

I could see playing on a site like Bodog, where you get points for playing, so playing a lot of play money SNGs makes sense, but for the life of me I can't see anyone buying play chips. (I also can't see anyone buying a bagel that looks like Mother Theresa either, but some idiots do.) More power to you.

I guess I'll have to wink a little longer next time .

This challenge is not as easy as it sounds. I am up to 140,000 in two weeks. You have to be careful not to jump to a higher level faster than your BR can handle it.

Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Oh right, gotcha
