I play pool on a few of the different cash pool games but I don't ever actually deposit any money and bet on the games that I'm playing. I prefer to just play the game for free and eventually if they are too insistent about playing for cash then I'll move to a different network.
Sometimes when you just play for free on a cash pool game you can also end up getting offered really great deals like free pool tournaments where there's a cash or real prize up for grabs to the winner. It's hard to do well in these because everyone gets a chance to play (and usually does
) but it's an interesting way to play the game on the better software without having to pay.
Does anyone else do this?
I'm sure there are plenty of people who play on cash pool games with actual money and enjoy doing it. I'll probably give it a go at some point but I think it'll be for pretty low amounts.
It's interesting that there are cash games that have launched their own currencies (e.g. PoolStars.com are using what they call PS$). From the look of it a PS$ is not worth a lot, more like a few cents so it's probably a nice way to let everyone who just wants to dabble a little for a few dollars in the game to get involved.
I'd love to hear if you're playing on another cash game that does this?
