Is there an upper limit on Tokens?

[S1lent]

Hi,
While transferring tokens in High Stakes Poker and Texas Hold'em, I got an error "You do not have enough tokens to play at this table".  Actually, I have 2.147 Billion tokens.  While you are playing, or transferring tokens, you sometimes get the error when your stake hits exactly "zero".   

So today I transferred about 1 million tokens from the main account back to a dummy...and then re-transferred the tokens.  When the total account reached 2.147 Billion...I got the error again.

Is there an  upper limit?

BTW, I know tokens aren't worth anything, and I am afraid to enter the drawings.

There is a token loss limiter in Texas Hold'em Poker (the original game).

This is to "prevent" players from dumping tokens from one account to another. You can only lose a certain amount of tokens at a single sitting. Also, it occurs when you have exactly zero tokens in your stake and try to raise.

You can play High Stakes Poker and use the dummy route to the same effect.

Update,

On my home page the tokens read -2,147,741,016...yes it has a minus sign in front of the tokens.

So I dumped about 125,000 tokens and refreshed the my home page and sure enough it now reads 2,147,616,016 without the minus sign.

For the time being,  I will drop a few million...and keep posted later.

BTW...I am retired and have no life...so I cheat at POGO games and I also cheat on Yahoo.

From Wikipedia:

"The number 2,147,483,647 is also the maximum value for a 32-bit signed integer in computing. It is therefore the maximum value for variables declared as int in many programming languages running on popular CPUs, and the maximum possible score for many video games. The appearance of the number often reflects an error, overflow condition, or missing value."

You may, indeed, have run up against the answer to the question: "How many Pogo tokens can I actually accumulate?"

Actually, I have 2.147 Billion tokens.

Wow    Man that's a lot of tokies.  I've seen some big tokie amounts but nothing that comes even close to that.  Does anyone in rooms hassle you about it?  I've seen sticky beaks hassle people for less.

Hi
I've have never been hassled.   I do keep the profile private. Actually the first two numbers do not show when I am in most rooms.  When I let it run 24/7 I try to stay in rooms that are not very populated.  Additionally, I keep a low profile and never argue.

Wow, you should be able to purchase a home or at least a nice car with all those tokens.

Update,

I backed off my account that had the 2.147 Billion tokens as POGO was giving me warnings.  Now while playing today...I noticed it "rolled-over" and the account displays 6,572 tokens.   When I click on my other stats...the full amount of tokens applies.   

To me it is kind of like the first car I drove.  It was digital...could display 99,999.9 miles.  I have no idea how many times it was rolled-over.

I said, DO NOT MENTION DALE JR TO HOMER. 

I was not saying anything good about that loser.

You need to READ people's posts before randomly slapping them.

How do you have 2200 badges? They haven't released that many yet.

Hi,
Homer was right again...not 2200 badges, 2119...my bad.

Here is POGO's response
Greetings,

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.

After reviewing your account, we should be able to assist you in the recovery of your tokens. Since the number of tokens you lost is so high, it will take a while to recover them. Please rest assured we are working on getting your tokens back. Just sit tight and you should have everything back to normal shortly.

My token account is @ 2.009 billion and counting. 
I made the account open to the public and you should have heard the comments.  The Account was going up by the millions.

Let's call this a Paul Harvey...that is the rest of the story
