Ultimatebet it's your turn

I've been messing with Absolute poker way too much in recent history. Time to head back to the rookie site.

Or is it.

While reading up on the Absolute scandal I saw someone post that they heard that they where "sister sites." That would explain a lot. Since in a limit game everyone plays like an idiot and raises pref-lop on both sites.

Starting with my tiny Ultimate chip stack compared to my huge Absolute chip stack I had to settle for a 10-20 limit game. As always with both sites, there are way too many "people" willing to raise the pot pre-flop. I lined up my beer soldiers, settled in and was as always vigilant and not concerned about chips won or lost. After outwaiting the AI raise-raise-raise-raise scenario I've seen WAAAAYY too many times things magically changed into almost normal poker. (by the way playing HORSE - mixed games Hold'em, Omaha hi-lo, Razz, stud and stud hi-lo.)

Obviously I wasn't buying into the pre-flop raising, so like night and and day, even though some of these positions that where so loose with their chips settled down. Now think about that. I've been playing against "people" that have proven they're sole purpose in life is to raise the pot on a crappy 10-20 free money game.

It could happen. If it was one or two on a table. But when the whole table is "Whooa Haw" it's more than a little suspicious.

After winning a couple of decent hands, I already knew it was time to give them a strong dose of - me. I'm not worried about the chips. I went from 1900 to a max of a little of 2900. The extra 1000 are my foldin' chips while I watch you go to extreme lengths to make it look for real, and you get pissed off that someone with real skill would play on a 10-20 limit table for more than two hours, and you eventually do something stupid.

So, after being insulted by my mere presence on the database I was met with a player with almost $2,000,000 chips. On a 10-20 limit table. Ridiculous. If you have that many you'd be doing what I do on Absolute and playing higher level free money tables. But hey, since you tragted me, I'll fold. And I don't care that you weren't very competent. I see how you are just raising the pot for others (than me) to win.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Everyone keeps raising pre-flop with your constant lame excuses for it. Or switch to playing for real. Where, including on my table tonight more than one position woke up and stopped betting like an idiot.

It's not "Oh my God, I'm losing chips!" It's "Oh, my God! Real human with way too much time on their hands has hooked up with my database and still has chips to play with!" "How did that happen?"
