Yes, seriously but have different priorities than real money game. Real money game for me is to win the game. Play many game I use to learn, to test my strategies, to worm up before important tournament. But still, more play money in the game, more I want to win :)
Greetings Everyone!

Of course, if I take it seriously, having that attitude prepares me for real money games and feeling like I can aspire to more; like winning a major tournament. greetings and take care:ciao::icon_fara

HI

I don't take the fake money seriously, but the real money yes, I even get mad at losing, but they are part of the game.

For me, victory is important, not participation, so take every game seriously. I used to play basketball professionally, so think always want to give my best:)

I can't even bring myself to play with play money. When it comes to freerolls, I can do it all day.

Yesterday for the first time in a long time I played playgames. It was somewhat disappointing precisely because I took it very seriously and came up with a few moves of a software hacker, I even lost a pair of aces against a 10/8 of Spades. Incredible lol. Regards.

Usually there is nothing to lose, so you will run with players that may not take it seriously ,and if the player you are against does not take the game seriously ,for me it just takes the fun out of the game.

If you think that's a place to practice, it's worth to be serious. In small stake, maybe they don't care win or lose, but the higher stakes the more they care about chips.

I feel you must take all Poker games seriously Play Money, Points or Real Money, otherwise you learn nothing from them, there are a lot of players who don't really care when playing for Points or Play Money chips, I have even come across them in Real Money games, So you can win more often if you play seriously, and if you can make the money, then go one to make the Final Table, and eventually Heads-up play you can experience all aspects of the game.
Admittedly you get the all-in idiots at the start of any Poker game Play Money and Freeroll's but if you can get through the first half an hour, things begin to change as the more serious players get to play more like they would in a Real Money game.
Some say you cannot learn anything from Play Money games or Freeroll's, but I think they are wrong, admittedly they are different, in that some players do not play seriously and can be too aggressive, but you do gain experience, and to be honest that goes a long way.
Practice makes Perfect.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Well said Pokerpoet.

I drop by these threads particularly when people generalize. The most irritating is when people make blithe statements about no one ever takes play money seriously. I prefer people to speak for themselves. You don't like play money or have no interest in play chips - fine, don't play. But then avoid making blanket statements about others or the value of using play chips to learn.

I often refer to Replay Poker, a site with over a million global members that Cards Chat partners with that is strictly a play site. They have all the bells and whistles of any major play site (in fact more sometimes) and they provide player rankings and leagues etc. Many want to play poker without wagering real money. Members vary from doctors and lawyers through to retirees and 'underage' members (with parents permission) allowed to learn the game.

I have also bothered to point out that on any day you can see people on pokerstars with badges on their avatars stating how many real hands they have played practicing in play money MTTs.

So people do take play money seriously and even though I now play such a session fairly infrequently I enjoy it and naturally take it seriously. Perhaps once a week I'll log-in to Replay, enter an MTT and will be gung to make the 'cash' and know everyone around me is just as determined.

I stopped playing them a long time ago because there are many people who do not take them seriously and that makes them senseless and with little to learn
