Make sure you are playing on playmoney tables..
I dropped -100$ on NL25 earlier, felt a bit tilted from couple of bad beats so i decided to play some PLO on the playmoney tables.. only it wasn't >_>
Played for about half an hour of PLO100 wondering why everyone was so bloody tight. Looked at cashier and saw 150$ in play.. putting 1+1 together, only then did i realise..
So make sure you are playing on playmoney tables , it IS playmoney tables. Good thing I was up 50$, certainly wasn't rolled for it

lol nice escape, lucky you didn't donk it off thinking it was only playmoney which many people usually do. maybe you can have 1 more session at plo 100 and win more

Nice job on winning the $50 without realizing it at first. Maybe you are on to a new game that can make some more for you
Nice donk work Maybe you are only lucky but I noticed it's easier to win when I use playmoney. I play more aggressive, very loose, I reraise everything with ( almost ) everything and magically cards seem to come on my side. Of course I wouldn't ever do it with a real money but maybe is this the secret to become a winning player

Taking over McSnakeys business.
hahahahah so funny. Nice story with a happy ending. Something similar has happened to me, but nopt with money tables. Once I thought I was playing $1 DON (4 tables) but then I went to look my cashies and I hadn 40 dollars less. I was playing $10 DON. Luckly I won 2 si I just lost the rake

Posted by Yorche: you are so lucky. I wish it'd be the same for all of us . although just one question what would you have post if you had lost all your "play money"?
Yep, I still would have posted if I lost my bankroll thinking it was playmoney.
When I was down after nl25 session, it was 1-2am in the morning, so I was tired and tilted. After the playmoney incident, I was totally wide awake and my heart pretty much skipped a beat when I realised I as playing plo100 with real money..Started another nl25 session and it went better than the first. I ended up regrinding nl25 past breakeven and a 10$ profit. BR sitting at 1.1k so its nice and healthy again

Next time always check everythink would be fun (not for you) if u would lost like 200$ on "playmoney". I hate playing there nobody really care so they go all-in with everythink.
I was playing there when i start with poker i was slowly gathering cash from 1k to 50k... Was thinking that will help to understand people , ye... was stupid .

Yea, beating ppl at playmoney doesn't really help you improoving your gameplay for real cash, good you realized that.
