Now I'm really confused

I really shouldn't be training these guys more on what they are doing wrong. But like a deer in the headlights I just headed for a quick poker fix.

Mired in a week long drought of half decent cards and watching other players(a generalization, not playing against specific previous opponents) completely differently than the months before I decided to catch more flops than normal. I don't remember the last time I got such great cards.

It was still a struggle up to a point. I had a bad run when there were four players left. And I folded several hands to take time out to feed the mutt. When I got back to playing with three left and folding the first hand after that the ridiculously good run of cards continued. And I think the player that finished third is a traditional powerhouse on this site.

First place!!! Yeah!!! No, wait a second.

As commonly happens my early wins were not acknowledged with the common "nh" from opponents. And When other players won the "nh"s were flying around like crazy. And no one called me by my screen name at all. Any comments on my success were very generic.

It seemed like what they call in the Dungeons and Dragons world a "Monty Haul" game. Destined to win. But if it's not my effort and talents it has no value and is just as bad as losing.

More thoughts about why they would do that started spinning. Hmmm, two nights ago I changed my screen name for the first time. Just possibly, I have landed in a second FREE TRIAL PERIOD. This could be the case. The surveys for the free points have been very personal and financially oriented all week. Other than the name change with me answering that I have sound finances this could be another attempt to get me to break out the wallet. On the I'm paranoid front, the name change shouldn't have done a thing. Any pre-programmed play could easily tie into my log in information and what screen name I have means diddly.

Stepping back and thinking more about the events I return to my old friend, the math. The number of pocket pairs I got was insane. The lowest was 77. QQ three times. throw in a 99 and a 10-10 and I think another low one I don't remember. The three QQs are a statisical anomally of their own. All this in less than forty hands.

Throw in my bad beating player that finished third where my suited J5 called pocket sevens and won by flopping a jack - on the traditonal site powerhouse. Ordinarily one would think he was a little more cautious.

The jury is still out on this one on reality. I'm leaning towards being fed, and wondering what the next two tourneys I plan to play tonight before calling it quits for the day have in store.

And as for ANNOYING THE GAME ADMINS, if anyone pays attention to my screen name it's kind of vulgar if you sound it out. Nothing has become of that, yet.
