Why is "Money Won" on here so important to people

[wykydsceptre]

well for ME I like to see my paltry $$ won, cause it was for FREE. I am from the old days, put 50 bucks on UB and turn it into 500. cant deposit anymore, so get $$ for free... not a LOT of $$ but it keeps "score"

is it really important?

Dont think ive ever seen any1 talk about it....I used to own the freerolls.

money won means nothing to judge someone.

They could have $500 in winning or wahtever and played like 2,000 freerolls lol.

To really judge is ITM% and FT% imo.

This. I don't really see people using it in the forum much, nor in chat at the table. But then I don't always read the table chat - it's often just moronic babble from people who think they know something about odds, or some drunk fool trying to make the women at the table believe that his 4 inches is a monster

I look at it from time to time in the posts, but don't use it as any type of strategy. I would like to see ITM or FT percentages

It's not really that important to me to be honest. I mean hell. I pretty much only play free rolls, and rarely play anything that cost money to play.

There ARE some very good players here who do cash (and I'm talking large cashes, not just make it itm and then get knocked out).

I guess, if it's that important to someone as to how much money they have won in free rolls thru here, their problem, not mine.

Opinions are opinions. You don't have to like them. Some of the best players on here have won way less and/or played way less. Happens.

Still suggests something though.

It actually is important to me. I don't think it's a way to judge someone as a player, but it IS one way to judge how invested someone is in PO. I trust someone more that has a higher money won cause it proves they are an active member of the site and less likely to cut and run on a deal.

your monies won may look big but a player can be broke on their poker site

Agreed. Didn't think of it that way.
