Playing Holdem Online - with or without $$

[IvanXDurham]

A few friends of mine from back home in NC started talking [censored] about who the best tournament player was. We decided to put $100 a piece and the winner would be the first to reach a million play money chips in SNG "cashes". Needless to say, everyone welched, moved away, or just plain stopped giving a fuuck. Except me of course, to this day i'm still "King of the Play Money SNG". Who wants to touch me? "I said who wants to fuuckin touch me?"

Thanks veru much for the insights. You are right about the worthlessness of playing for funchips - the play is so completely random since it doesn't cost anything.

Two followup questions please. (1) If I am in the U.S., how can I play online for $$ given the U.S. anti-gambling restrictions? (2) Would this be obvious from the company's website? Thanks!
