Do you take play money games seriously?

[bnasp2]

Absolutely not.
Most important, noone is - so how can you read your opponent?
And if you just play like he is crazy, what good it gives to you?

Just leave play money to kids, even freerolls are better (when you pass that starting push atc madness).

I lost hundreds of euros when I still played with real money involved. Needless to say, it hurt like hell and even made me loathe Poker for a while. But since I made the switch to play money I can finally begin to enjoy the game again. I'm a crazy competitive person; everything I play I do so with the utmost sincerity, so for me personally the only difference between fake and real money is that I don't feel like shit after a lost game.

Curious to know...Do you take playmoney games serious? Or are they simply a way to play like you don't care? I sometimes find myself playing them more seriously than real freeroll games or micro-stakes.

Generally, I use them for practice, but sometimes they are the I DO NOT CARE what happens game...come to think of it...so are those cash games from time to time.

Sometimes FULL TILT happens no matter where you are.

Hope it is not on the bubble or in a big cash game.

Of course, I play my money seriously in every game that involve money or bets. Money is real, it isn´t to play without care or simply hobby. The game of Poker isn´t a joke.

Not really I'm happy to go All In with rubbish hands by the crowd of serious people who like to play poker

I only use it for studying and training.

I haven't played any play money games in quite awhile. But I take freerolls seriously. And I believe that if I still played play money games that I would take them seriously too. Mainly because it's still worth the practice for the real thing.

for me, playing for money or freeroll I play seriously, when it involves money to be won, I play seriously,
