Last night i was waiting the 50 seat frenzie on PP at 23.00ET ad was not feeling to play cash poker. So i went to pokerstars and enter a play money tournament entrance fee 3millions finishe ITM and collect bit more than 4mil. After a enter a 10K play money PLO again ITM with 11K.Then a badugi freeroll 1800 players first 54 win a ticket so when te tournament open on PP i had enough chips to win ticket and sit out to go on PP.After 2hrs. of play i was ITM but went card dead for a while and go down to 13th. A bit later i was on tjhe button whith crap cards everyone in front fold and decided to try a bluff and collect the blinds and antes.The BB had nice cards and called my bluff and it was the end for me. After the fact i know it was a foolish move but it was to late and hope not making same mistake again.

I guess better luck next time, i just hope that you learned something from your mistake in order to avoid it in the future!
Anyways if you'll play again keep us posted with the results. btw What ticket you can win, never thought play money tournaments can have real money prizes even as tickets to real money games?

To Macubaas the ticket that i won was not in a play money game but a Badugi freeroll.
To Teknoboy I dont know if this still possible since pokerstars is now selling play money When i fisrst started playing pokerstars a friend cave me 1million play money bur now you cant give more than 1k to another player. The money i could make trying to sell is not enough.

What is the point, to someone just buy play money, for real cash
Nowadays, I think it is little one - to participate in huge buy in such as - 1 MILION with PRO's like Chris Moneymaker I've seen he's been recently playing some high stakes play money cashes, and MTT as well.
PS needed to promote their idea to buy chips, so they arrange some pro's to take part of this games; some others PRO's have been seen as well
