Seeing this whole gold chip/card thing has me kind of intrigued.

I got 50 chips for signing up and have earned afew since. Ive gotten 3 gold cards as well. What are people's experiences with the gold chips and cards etc. How often do your gold cards get put to use???

I have been on so long, i had accumulated 750 gold chips....
 
I saw no use in them until i used like 5 gold chips for a satellite where i won a seat to hte 75k tourney ($109 value)......
 
Now i try to religiously use them for free tourneys, hell why not?
 
as far as gold cards let me check how many i have........please wait.......
 
I have 60 gold cards, none higher than an 8 of spades and 8 of clubs, (lots of doubles triples, quads)
 
I have been playing a lot since sportsbook.com opened, so you can only imagine how hard it is to get high cards.....

i once asked on a table i was playing, and one guy said he had a Jack......again though, i doubt any are around, I mean, after 2 years i dont have anything higher than an 8????

 

Next time you are playing a cash game, randomly ask what is the highest gold card you have?  I doubt anyone will say anthing of note.

 

I play on 1/2 NL, although i hear if you play on 2/4, 5/10 you do have a higher chance of higher gold cards, and you do get gold chips based on rake so naturally you accumulate gold chips much faster......

i have been on sportsbook poker since its change over from paradise poker. what HG says is correct....

the higher the limits you play, the higher the chance of getting high gold cards.  in all my time there, take in mind i typically play the mtts and sngs, i have 11 gold cards. not many, but i don't play cash nearly as much.  when you play cash games you accumulate them much, much faster.  i play around the same limits as HG and i have one 6, two 5s, and a bunch of 2s and 3s.



i think i am going to start asking people at the table about their collections and see what others have. good idea.

I know that you get gold cards from playing ring games only.  They send them out randomly based on how much rake the table has made, so the higher you play the more chance you'll have for a card. 
 
If you watch the gold card lottery you'll notice that the higher cards have better prizes so I don't think they send out many of them.   Overall I love the gold card and gold chip promotions it's almost like getting rakeback and rolling it into a lottery.

I havent played long and ive played on .25-.50 NL, .50--1 NL and 1-2 NL...highest card ive gotten is a 3...
 
however when i was in one of the rooms, in the chat section where it tells you who did what (fold, check etc) a gold text popped up saying So and So received a J of clubs in whatever room. That right away made me think, shit wow this must be really hard!

I play there.  Highest card after playing there on and off over the last 2 years is a 10 of clubs.  I think I got the higher cards back when I was playing higher limits (not down to .50/1 and 1/2)
 
Today they were offering $500 to anyone who wished to redeem an A of clubs
 
yeah right I got one

Ive gotten a couple 4's since. I noticed my last 3-4 GC have been either spades (seems harder to get) and 4's...
 
I am wondering if the longer you are on a site, the better cards you get? Anyone think this or experience this?
