Why are people so stuck on this. Not everyone plays the freerolls... some of us earn points for vouchers... others earn points to trade other players for cash... people automatically think that because there is a 0 there that those players are not very good... you cant judge someone by one stat... especially on a site that has the option to buy sell and trade points instead of using them all for freerolls!!
It really doesnt mean much except for how much you have won here. It has no bearing on how good you are imo, some here do play 4+ freerolls a day so of course their money won is going to be higher.
Don't listen to her. Pooffy is a bot controlled by an evil smurf.
I think it just gives people an idea im going to try my first today
Pooffy and kiddaa got no room to talk because they won a lot of money already. :p:p:p
people who think that the amount of money won = skills are dumb and idiotic. there are other websites made for determining skill, they are not hard to find.
I guess if u see them playing in a bunch of freerolls. and still have .ooo then it might say something lol
i could honestly say ive won 5 tournaments over 10 grand before live and online...my other life leaks aside, ill never get a stake on here if i wanted one till my money won gets higher lol
its just a reg thing imo n00bs wouldnt understand
I imagine it matters more to some than others. Particularly, people who want stakes.
well for ME I like to see my paltry $$ won, cause it was for FREE. I am from the old days, put 50 bucks on UB and turn it into 500. cant deposit anymore, so get $$ for free... not a LOT of $$ but it keeps "score"
is it really important?
Dont think ive ever seen any1 talk about it....I used to own the freerolls.
money won means nothing to judge someone.
They could have $500 in winning or wahtever and played like 2,000 freerolls lol.
To really judge is ITM% and FT% imo.
This. I don't really see people using it in the forum much, nor in chat at the table. But then I don't always read the table chat - it's often just moronic babble from people who think they know something about odds, or some drunk fool trying to make the women at the table believe that his 4 inches is a monsterQuote:

It's not really that important to me to be honest. I mean hell. I pretty much only play free rolls, and rarely play anything that cost money to play.
There ARE some very good players here who do cash (and I'm talking large cashes, not just make it itm and then get knocked out).
I guess, if it's that important to someone as to how much money they have won in free rolls thru here, their problem, not mine.
Opinions are opinions. You don't have to like them. Some of the best players on here have won way less and/or played way less. Happens.
Still suggests something though.
It actually is important to me. I don't think it's a way to judge someone as a player, but it IS one way to judge how invested someone is in PO. I trust someone more that has a higher money won cause it proves they are an active member of the site and less likely to cut and run on a deal.
your monies won may look big but a player can be broke on their poker site
Agreed. Didn't think of it that way.Quote:

Ya I use it more to judge me, more of a personal high score that I try and get higher but I can see people judging others because that's the only stat on a post so it's the first thing they see
What is money ??
IMO its always bad to compare yourself to others in the game of poker. As far as telling how good someone is. FT percentage and ITM % are good stats to look at to get a general idea how someone plays. Tournaments you need a ton of them to really tell how good someone is. But as far as comparing yourself to others. I don't think you should. Its bad for your game and could force you to play incorrectly to try and match up. Its just bad news to compare yourself in poker. If your focused on your own game and continually working on your own game. The numbers will come. If your going to look at others stats then do it for self improvement. Watch them play and see what they are doing. Some of them are just playing more volume in which case their numbers are going to be higher of course. But even when you can't play , by watching others you can learn something.
I don't agree with this... I would have to say number and quality of forum posts reflects this betterQuote:
