Congrats. You left me alone for an hour. Reasonable cards, the idiot pre flop raising was at a minimum. You didn't do the obvious bs of the player to my left instantly raising constantly. But you did do it some, and he lost all his chips.
But what you did do wrong was the ever present "sweep" hands where all the active positions call and raise to the limit. No regard for the fact that in limit Omaha high low there is virtually no hand worth a raise. And you played so patient for the first hour while I doubled my chip stack.
And then the bs started. Insulted by my pre-flop folding, you had to taunt me on how you were wining my blinds. Like I'm supposed to call on hands that will lose.
Tonight, the caht was the key. As always, I was very silent. Until like 7 out of ten hands I posted "nrh" which for me stands for "nice rigged hand." And they bit the bait. After more than an hour of virtual silence, other than the taunts the "tys" came up. Until they realized what I was doing, and then the bad beats (nut full house - only hand that can beat me is the four of a kind came up.)
And, boy this site is awfully fond of the four of a kind bad beat. Completely ridiculous.
My first rule for playing poker on the internet for real money.
Don't. If they can't play the free chip tables for real, the real money tables must also have the same magic "I can't lose button" attached.
My second rule - once the raising gets insane, even when you have a decent hand. Take a breath. It's just a big database that you are set against pretty impossible odds. Maybe you can gain a couple of bucks playing on the low money tables, but if you pretend to be smart and have the audacity to raise on real money tables you will be brought down like a bad mutt. Fold.
Internet games have been cheating people for years with their database vs. real human aspect.
