Hello
I wanted to make a questionnaire, but I do not know how. So what you think about bets in Pokerstars tournaments ?

In my opinion bets like 1765231, 2457921, 32658962, 1475102541, 22555748512 or in cash games (5$/10$) bets like 32,81$, 140,11$, 1241,82$ ruining the dynamics of the game.

In tournaments should be chip race, and in cash games minimum bet should be from 0,5 to 1 of small blind.

Current bets should be available ONLY in play money for fun

What is your opinion ?

OP, play limit poker. Your weird personal problem is then solved.

All the best.

It's not a problem, but looks stupid

Well, you likely have expertise in that area...

Anyway, try to find a way to carry on somehow.

All the best.

Yes I don't understand why it ruins the dynamic?

This is probably more of a chip animation thing online than the actual odd bet sizing itself...

I like choosing an amount that causes Pirate9999 to go on raging tilt.

Yeah, I'd like to know this too. What's so bad about it, OP?

Also very interested how it affects dynamics or anything else. Harder to type it into your calculator to count the odds?

I do this live too.

I use a scalpel and carve up my 25 pence chips so that I can bet smaller denominations like £1.14

Like 25p you would cut in half and then cut a small bit out of one half and bet half a chip plus the small half to make £1.14.

Of course you could then start betting amounts like £1.1485 but that's silly.
