Poker isn't very interesting of it isn't played for stakes (whether it is money or something else) in fact what is the point to it, if you aren't playing for something?
- legitster 2y agoI never played for cash growing up, and IRL the most popular format is tournament, where everyone pays the same entry fee (usually $60 - $100) and gets a predetermined number of chips. It's fundamentally not that much different than how any other game tournament would work at that point. If understand that some people might have some sort of prudish historical association, but in 2024 it feels like PEGI may as well keep around decency rules for pool tables, pinball machines, Magic: The Gathering, etc.
