I really need to leave Absolute Poker, but I'm stuck like a deer in the lights.

7 stud limit hi low has obviously changed. At least for me. I don't know if others experience the constant raising I used to see. It's definitely gone now. Maybe it's just a little respect after my name popped up on the tables so often. I doubt it.

For many weeks I established a pattern of opponent raises regardless of their cards and by using the poker investigator's number one weapon of folding watch them beat each other senseless. I'd sneak in and win alow hand every once in awhile. Now for more than a week all of a sudden people I've never supposedly played with before play a little more conservatively. I break even and waste my time.

So I have now changed my focus to no limit Omaha hi low with spectacular results. As usual the pre-flop raising is ridiculous. My cards are marginal or crappy. And I'm not supposed to be here. The lower level table AI is supposed to make me be bored and when I finally get a good hand call all in. Or plunk my 20,000 chips max for the table in there and call the irrational big bets. Lose and gone - no such thing as a 200,000+ chip stack like I started with.

I probably folded over a hundred Omaha hands tonight. I won two. Since there was so much all in activity I got to count how many hands I folded that would have been a winner. One.

One hundred hands of Omaha Hi lo with a split pot generating about 1.5 winners per hand. I get two. Of course they were big scores since I'm so conservative. But I had to fold an insane number of hands to survive long enough to call those two hands. One was the raiser going all in for low like me where there was no low and me catching two pair. The second was, after another long yawn fest, me catching the nut flush on the flop and going all in and sweating out two tens on the board.

And then the loser posted, "Hey, it's just fun money chips." (Or something similar)

My gosh, isn't that a convenient excuse for constantly raising. And if you are going to constantly raise how the hell did you get the chip stack you have? Ummm....because you're AI on the server.

Needless to say the chat was for the most part non-existent.

On two winners I while folding 90% of the hands I increased my chip stack from 200,000 to 300,000 plus.
