Default Just Wondering

Was watching a convo at a table and it went something like this:

A- what you win in that tourney?
B- 30k
A- cool
B- and some medal
B- what's that for?

got me wondering what the members play the OP66 tourneys is it the chips or the medals ?

for me it is prestige of the medals

Medals are the most important, points help. Its nice to find your name on a toplist. The chips might help out any of our newer members, otherwise the winnings are not significant.

2. medals
3. chat
4. points

Its the chat I play for, love the medals-thats the bonus. If chat doesnt work (or improve at this moment in time), I will probably quit playing online poker and find the real game and play

Chat is what has brought this site to what it is. Wow so many preposistions in that one. MrC would be impressed or disgusted lol.

I play to kill time nowadays, not a fan of the styles I'm seeing so it's lacking it's lustre for me

If I play for anything else it's for the rush at the final table.

Used to play for the medals but that got frustrating, you know trying so hard lol

I play to win....I love the beautiful medals.
However I do enjoy to chat. If I'm doing good
and have a nice chip stack I don't chat much.
I'm not to good at muti-tasking....
one thing at a time for me.
THE MEDALS ARE AWESOME!!!!!
