That was completely NUTS!!!!

Look at the chat in the lower left hand corner. What you will see is one player posting a question to a new player to the table, and then answering their response, before their response was posted!

As always for me, the cards aren't that important. Occasionally I get the itch to want to just sit back and play without admin bs. After half an hour of admin bs I turn to thinking about what I can do to mess with their lives.

Tonight's fun started off with a hold'em sit and go. I don't play too many of those, but I was bored and just wanted to play some cards. Brain kicked in and said, "Remember!" Your last ten sit and go games followed the same pattern. Call on decent hands, lose on the river, become short stacked, struggle back to take second place. So this time I just folded regardless of my hole cards. I was forced into a couple of winners where I was big blind. Other than that I watched a stastically unreasonable pocket pairs get in play. Don't matter to me - AI beting against AI while I'm folded. Folding is the number one weapon of the poker investigator. I eventually came back to win first. I folded hands with an ace and a pocket pair 6 consecutive times at one point. I was getting great hole cards. And I was expected to call and raise a lot more - and lose.

Positive cash flow - about $10,000 chips. Pretty short game despite my finishing off #2 player head to head took a long time. I sat in on a 7 stud high low table - the one in the picture. I farted around for several hands watching bigger than reasonable bets being placed, and finally Irishdolls showed up. I played against Irish a couple of days ago and she was an extremeley chatty, competent, but very lucky catch on the river type of gal. Not being tired of rying to cheat me out of my chips (back to 1,350,000 after the meltdown while investigating reasonablness the past weekend) PAPA7 shows up.

And the chat goes from nonexistent to insane in about thirty seconds.

OK, timeout - let me think about this. I play for half an hour on a quiet table with a proven chatty Cathy. No chat. Someone shows up with a huge chip stack they are friends with. They're very loose with their chips, and the whole table becomes alive with chat. It's obvious to me it's not for real. So I prove it. After folding some bad hole cards I search for PAPA7SQK. "PAPA7SQK" is not in the cardroom.

I'm wired to think about what I can do when I want to play for real and I'm obviously set up against impossible odds. As the night progressed I saw a ton of players entering the table and losing. Every one that won met with a nice post from me on what a great hand it was. And Auntie loves me, she wanted to know my name and where I was from. I shouldn't have, but I told her the truth.

For my readers that love to think I'm just paranoid -

What if I'm playing against the guy(s) and or gal(s) who run the site? I'm not supposed to have 1.3 million chips, especially after all the bs. And doing what I do just drives you NUTS!!!!

I think so.
