You can't buy the money that is used to play poker. Only gold bars. The money is what you get by doing missions online.

Can you trade gold for money?

Otherwise what a stupid rear end in a top hat mechanic (it would be rear end in a top hat pay to play poo poo anyway if it was real money, but charging a rake for fake money games just seems petty as hell)

You cannot. you can spend real money on gold bars. You can also find gold bars and pieces in the game doing missions. Gold bars are used in game to skip level requirements for clothing items mostly.

Its a % the house takes of the pot. Since your playing aginst ppl in poker instead of most gambling games at a casino where your playing against the house. The house takes a cut of the winnings for providing the game. Usually 5%.

But there isn't a "house" cuz it's a loving video game so I'm just losing 5% of the winnings I get every hand because rockstar.

Mucking is a term used in poker where in most cases if a winning hand is shown and I know I can't win I can not show my hand to my opponent. It's just a way to keep your opponent from knowing what type of hands your willing to risk money on.

I about flipped out of my chair when I won a pot of 10 bucks but had to give the video game 50 cents. It's so silly. The game constantly makes you pay up keep on your camp so I shouldn't be surprised but still.... I need that 50 cents brahh.

Money is easy as hell to get now. Took advantage of the way better character creator and made a character that didn't look like they had mumps, then just ran the new story stuff and got some maps in between and I must have made 2000+ dollars, and I'm already level 14 with most of my guns I had back, and a swag poncho and bolero hat. I just wish I could have ammo bandoliers now...

If I purchased gold with real cash but decide I want to delete my character will I still have that gold? Is gold tied to your account or to your character?

I never have my camp up and thus never get charged for upkeep. If I need a campfire I’ll use one in town or after I clear a gang hideout.

I do pay upkeep on having three horses though, it’s like $2.50 every time it ticks.

You can muck a hand in poker, but I’ve only see it happen once. It’ll actually say “mucked” in the lower left part of the screen for the person who did it.

You keep all your cash and gold; lose everything else

Once you finish the tutorial all your cash and gold appear

I don’t think that’s true, actually; you get a good chunk of gold from the tutorial, though

Also am I the only one who’s missing at least one mission from the story? I was stuck at 87% before the new content and had one that I’d only ever played through matchmaking

Have you ever not been a gunslinger or an outlaw? You are probably missing one, and you can't do it because you aren't the right morality end for it to trigger

I hope so. My first character looks like a prostitute with leprosy. I’ve bought a outfit with gold and bought some gold when they had a nice $5 deal early on in beta. Would like to make a new character but would rather not see that money effectively disappear.

I can see them taking a cut of your gold if you make a new character so people don't just keep rerolling and stockpiling it off the tutorial.

That would make sense actually yeah

Maybe they take as much as would cause you to break even? I came out with more gold from it then less though :shrug:

I might not have done it if I had more to lose than guns and two horses, but I was only like level 30 so it was an eh. Also you get up right now very fast with a new character: I'm level 14 and just started yesterday afternoon, and I haven't even played consecutively

That'd be pretty good. I should make another account on my PS4 just to play with the new creator. I thought my character came out pretty well, though. So I doubt I'd change anything. I wish they'd have some shorter hair options for women, though. Most of the long hair just clips through the jackets, especially the poncho.

Protip: Du Hast makes for pretty a bitchin' cinematic mode horse riding soundtrack, especially if you can throw a black and white filter on it.

Do you have to re-purchase all weapons, clothing and horses if you start over with a new character, or are they just greyed out until you regain your previous level?

Haven't tested it yet, but it sounds like the game not saving custom outfits might be due to a piece of clothing being from an outfit. Using a custom outfit with only purchased pieces should save it on logout.

They need to let you attack people's horses in defensive stance. Nothing like getting blown away coming out of a store and then watching them start unloading on your horse, only to catch up with them, kill them and you unable to touch their's. I guess 2.50 is the idiot tax you have to pay for using that worthless stance. Better yet, maybe they should have horses run away if their owners are killed near them. If there's a bear, cougar or snake within 200 miles of the loving things, they sure make it known. But an violent explosion of gunshots right next to it? Nah, nothing's wrong here.

I can't seem to get these new story missions to pop, though! Anyone know if they're tied to your honor level?
Most strangers won't give me missions, either.

Gotta say, my biggest annoyance has to be the disconnects. Just spent 45 minutes hunting, and got DCed. Now everything on my horse is gone.
You'd think they'd have stable server connections by now.

You'd think with as much money as they're doubtlessly swimming in they'd be able to afford stable servers, period. GTAO still kicks me and all my buddies out of the server after ten minutes without fail.

Or at least saving what your horse had on it like it does your satchel.

Lost like $40 worth of pelts same way, it's garbage.
