Question

Why do I win all the time playing fake money on Full Tilt Poker and lose playing real money/?

Answer 1

As someone already said, bankroll management is key.  No more than 5% of your bankroll on the table at one time, as he mentioned.  

You just need to practice, the real money game is a whole different world.  Try to get in as much play time as you can without risking too much.  Eventually if you stick with it and stay disciplined, you might find your bankroll steadily growing.

Answer 2

Sometime the people are better in real money because in fake money theres a lot of people messing around. Remember to try to but in only under 5 percent of your bankroll so that you don't lose to much. If your nerves take over, start playing tighter and more agressive with your premium hands.

Answer 3

It is just a " Gimmic" to sucker you in! Wake Up!

Answer 4

because u kno that this is a fake game with fake money soo u just take risks....but when ur playing for real....u know that this is and make urself nervous for no reason

Answer 5

That's like saying I can beat the 25c/50c game, but I always get my butt kicked at the $5/$10 table.

In poker the general rule is that the better you are, the higher stakes you play.  People don't generally play at $5/$10 unless they know what they are doing.

Fake money is not something people are all that concerned about.  People play with it like worthless play tokens, because that's what they are.  So there are a lot more fish.

Generally, once you graduate to real money, there is more skill involved, and people take a lot more seriously.
