Absolute Poker - reverse psychology

By now, they should be more careful around me. But, they still just don;t have a clue.

Since I'm not concerned about the size of my near 1.5 million chip stack or improving it I have the luxury to play on free money limit seven stud high low and just watch as they embarrass themselves. The embarrarasment in a fixed limit game is almost always the tried and true "everyone has a reason for raising (except the real human player.)" I only have the minimum 200 chips. I'm going to raise and try to get lucky. I'm just really loose, and even though I have 1 million chips I don't care if I win or lose. It's only play money, I don't care if I win or lose.

Long, long long ago playing internet poker on free money tables and discovering it was rigged and they wanted me to just go away I learned to fold cards that I should play. When they want you to go away you are met with raising by every other "player" with the typical excuses. And when you don't buy into it the admins get insulted. Their job is to make me lose as many chips as possible, I get frustrated and go away. Or even lose it all since I've proven I'm not willing to break out the checkbook.

And, oh yes, it's admins running a database, not a player interface. To believe it's a player interface one must suspend belief in reality and assume that people just don't care about winning or losing. Let me through all my chips in the pot, I had fun raising and losing, goodbye.

The screen shot is anonther weird message excusing bad play, and simultaneously taunting me since I had the nerve to play on a table they ordinarily can let the bad AI police.

Dudes, it's the opposite. The raising is what makes the game slow, not slow play making the raising. At least when you are dealing with me. The AI reacts instantly. Real humans have to think. My brain is fast enough to do the math and I can call or fold pretty much instantly. When things get too annoying and you post the "ZZZZZZZZZZ" messages, it only makes me want to slow down all that much more.

Considering the cards I received tonight and breaking even through your impossible bs, it was another major victory for me. So many hands. So statiscally impossible. This weekend, for a change of pace....try having your bad AI play agaisnt me with truly random cards instead of killing me with bad beats.
