It may be play money but I treat it as though it were real, or it gives a false sense of security, and makes you play differently when for real.
Typically I don't bet over £1 and have a few small 'Toonie' wagers with young Nick .. thats the extent of betting for me.
Trev its a good game and now I understand it and see the odds with the cards it is much better. Still pissed at the whelp having 4 jacks and beating my full house aces over jacks .. still it was a good crack ..
I need to find a good game of cribbage for money
