I AM TALKING ABOUT THE PLAY MONEY TABLES AT POKERSTARS. they are simply not ran with the scrutiny of real money tables which are regulated by the gaming commission, it would be a complete waste of resources to have people on payroll to monitor and regulate the order and frequency of winning cards that do not bring revenue to their site. and furthermore to pay a government agency either federal, state, or local to monitor a play money game is Ludacris, so the play money games are ran by a computer governed by a program created by officers of their website who are paid to generate interest in their website... I cannot make my point on this any clearer to you on this subject.
The exact same software is used on the play money tables as on the real money tables. Think about it , they have software that the rake from real money players pays the development costs on , why are they going to write different code for the play money tables.That will have huge cost implications for zero return. Its not going to happen ever. SO you have demonstrated that you don't have a clue about the software used by stars.The software gets its certification because of the real money play generating income for stars to pay for it and since its the same software used for real and play money the play money tables are not rigged in any way.
As for the "not a good player", you show a lack of poker understanding from the things that you have said in this thread.Wanting to take a break from the jackasses being a prime example.That play money software is defferent to real money software and it being rigged are further examples
do not bring that into this conversation again. now I am not saying I cannot, or will not play at another casino style site for real money out of the fear of it being rigged, that was never part of this conversation until you brought it into the mix. and as I said.... "if you, keith, are the cross section of this forum, then you are right, it wouldn't make sense to join such a club, considering you (meaning everyone you represent here) are solely interested in making money (at casino style sites, not at stars)" now what I am looking for is people who would be interested in having a game with people who, like me are interested in just "having fun" I did not ask about people who are like you who are only interested in making money. and I did not say that I thought this game would be more fun than playing for real money, nor did I ask anybody to join up for the purpose of playing for real money. now you cannot tell me with any form of reason that this kind of player does not exist in this forum...
look at the evidence , how many people have posted saying that they are interested in signing up for your club. none.
MOst of the people posting here are real money players or people looking to get access to the FTR sponsored tournament passwords. As i keep trying to explain to you , you are unlikely to find people looking to play playmoney poker here. You seem to think that that is me trying to put you down, im not , its just a fact.
take a look through this thread and you will see people saying a play money game on stars may be fun. furthermore this "gauntlet" tournament seems to be exactly that, and is seemingly a popular thing. as you are looking back through this thread, notice the original post was seeking advice on inviting people into a play money club, not seeking advice on how to make my game better on real money sites, but thanks for the stats and figures. when I joined this forum I kind of figured it would be a place to seek out people who have the same interests as me, I did not figure on talking to keith about how good keith is and what interests keith has.
Yeah look at what the people IN THIS THREAD SAID , eberretta said "so I guess I play Pokerstars Homegames only when a giftcard or other incentive is on the line." and sin uggla said"IMO they would only do this if 1) they can play with people they know, from RL or from the forum, or 2) there is added money, sponsored tournament etc. If they don't see an incentive, they won't come " .As you can see , people may join if there is a financial incentive , They aren't going to join to talk to someone they don't know for no monetary gain.
if you are interested in what I am interested in then I would love to talk with you and maybe play a game or two (once in a while for fun) with you. if you are like keith and not interested in anything but playing for real money at casino based sites, then keep doing what you do, have fun and good luck to ya, I am not asking you to abandon your game and play for fake chips, that would not be fun for you. that being said, no need to respond to this thread as it is nothing you would be interested in anyhow.
You really are obtuse aren't you. You cite the gauntlet as a validation of people playing socially, yet say i have no interest in playing in those social events and completely ignore the fact that i won the last gauntlet series. The point being that it was a social event amongst people that i discuss poker with on this forum . That is a different proposition than playing play money poker socially with a load of people i don't know. You'd have had far more success if you joined in talking poker on this forum and after 6months had said that you were thinking of setting up a home game club.At the moment the impression is that it will just be somewhere to vent over bad beats.
