Hey guys, whenever I find myself tilting or frustrated and not playing my best poker or if I just feel like gambling, then I will go to playmoney tables and just spew chips around for fun, hoping to get lucky. I find that it helps and can be fun. I like to do it on FullTilt the most since I find that they have the best playmoney setup of any poker site. Do you guys do this too? Do you think this is a bad habit?
I dont it, but its a great idea. I got fustrated the other day (rarely happens) lost $80.
if i ever tilted id give this the old college try
Never done play money for this reason, but occasionally I'll drop down to the Bumblebees or Fast Fifty sngs (on Merge) and just open shove every hand. Doesn't always make me feel better though.
used to back when i was a kid ha
plus dont think thats very satisfying . lolol
yep..Quote:

i just play the freerolls good luck
If i'm tilting I usually try to do something non-poker related. Sometimes i'll go on forums, but most of the time i'll go play xbox. FIFA or COD. It's always good to get frustration out by blowing some kids head off!! Woo!!
It's a good idea. Better to run bad at play money than money.
worse time to play poker is when your mad or tilting. but what happens if you run out of play chips lol
It makes sense as long as you really understand that your playing piss poor on purpose at the play money tables and understand that the table action there just doesn't count at improving your game. I will do something kinda similar. Hero has SNG freerolls round the clock, so I play like a donk in those when I really just want to play stupid and blow off steam. And if I get lucky, I could even win a few pennies!
probly not a good idea, form bad habits that way. they say u play how u practice n thats in essence what ur doing if u realize it or not.
thats probably the best idea ive seen for a while :)
Yes. I have done this as well. I agree that it is a great stress reliever. I don't think there is anything "wrong" about doing it as long as you consciously know you are gambling instead of playing solid poker and you don't carry that style play into your real money endeavors. GL at the tables.
If that was the case i would be at the play money tables all day long lol
"I use playmoney when I tilt and want to gamble "
i just use peyote and dont gamble........=/
Bad idea. Reinforces bad habits. Either take a brake, or drop to lower stakes and practice your way out of it. I always revert to a patient, conservative style and force myself to use the clock while counting outs/odds.
This is a good idea, dont think id be able to do it thought, to much of a degen.
It's a good idea...but somehow I can't see myself doing it.
Really good idea. Personally, I always smoke pot when I play so tilt doesn't exist lol.
This is true and I think is good advice for the player that wants to be very serious about getting better, but sometimes you have to just have some fun.Quote:
