PrototypeChaos Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they have been ripped off with this "allowance" for being able to play liars dice and poker? Is there any other way of earning money once you have lost it all or do I have to wait till the next day just to have a laugh with my friends?!?! Also any ideas why they have done it like this? I'm feeling pretty let down by the DLC pack as a whole to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling pretty let down by the DLC pack as a whole to be honest! They did it that way so people actually play serious poker instead of messing up people's games by constantly going all-in with whatever cards they have. I think it's a smart idea.

o D M C o Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Dont know why but now Im unable to earn any money to play poker aswell, Ive tried everything. Why do Rockstar go out of their way to make you pissed off with their games, I bought dlc for achievements, but plenty will have paid specifically to play poker, why on earth did they think it was appropriate to put a ridiculously low limit on the number of games I can play in a day. What makes me more pissed is that the only reason I have no money to play is because the poker game froze twice in a row having already deducted the funds from my account.

You have obviously never played any of the free online poker services. As you generally get 3-4 people per table to go all in, no matter their cards, just to get there chip stack up. Why because the only bad thing that happens is you loose 5 minutes and have to rejoin a different table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o D M C o Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Private matches might not take money, but they cause the game to freeze on the final hand in every game of poker. I played two full games with 5 other people and both times the game froze on the winning hand. So its gonna have to be done in public matches. Unless that is someone else can confirm that they got the achievement in a private match. Machine Zed, Im sure I must be missing something cos I really dont see the relevance of what your saying with regard to my previous post, sorry if Im being stupid Edited September 22, 2010 by o D M C o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a free poker service you have nothing riding on it so you can be careless with your chips and if you lose you lose nothing but if you had a grands worth of real money in chips you would be a lot less likely to go all in because you wouldn't want to lose your money. This is why I think that R* introduced the daily allowance to stop people being careless with there chips and not just got all in knowing they will have to wait 24hours before playing again.

CodSteaks Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How are the games structured? It sounds like for the poker ace achievement it must be a tournament style, but is there a way to just sit down and play poker without blind increases?

chris8875 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Instead of setting a daily allowance of $200, what Rock* would've been smarter to do is simply put a low maximum limit on all in bets. In other words, make the maximum you can bet on one hand say $30. That way, people can play as many hands as they want to gain or lose money, enjoy playing with friends or randoms, and generally play socially, without having to leave after blowing all their money quickly. The people who don't care about their chips can still go all in if they want, but all in = only $30, meaning that no-one is bankrupted. And without an overall limit on betting in a 24 hour period, people can play many many more hands for slightly lower stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothra Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) The only way to gain more money is to actually win at Liars dice and Poker, however if you do not want to lose your daily allowance money then simply play the low stakes games, for Poker the lowest table buy-in is $10 at Mcfarlanes ranch, for Liars dice its $10 Escalera. Playing these low stakes games will give you 20 games of either Poker or Liars dice per 24 hours and you may win some more money to play longer.
