The very first thing I noticed was that the 3 minute wait was 22 seconds short. The "The game will start in xxx" clock hadn't expired and we were rolling.
Interesting, and different from normal. The player with offsuit J4 all in on the first hand caught a 2 pair J4. Then constantly raised pretty much every hand. Mostly really big bets, not just the minimum. He did a great job of knocking out many positions. And he got caught bluffing a bunch of times. He was also willing to call almost every big bet by others. And others called his big bets often and were the winner.
He pretty much called or raised everything. One teeny tiny problem. Or massive depending on your perspective. While I was still a small fish in a big pond with pocket aces I called his minimum raise, the flop had an ace, I bet the minimum and he folded. Whoa, a little respect. I was pretty much the only person that made him fold before the showdown.
And with my great memory and powers of observation I'm certain we've never played together before. Why am I the only player that you know you can't bluff out?
As was the case for this entire week my cards have been way above average. I eventually knocked him out when it got down to a 3 player game when I got great or above average hole cards versus his marginal hole cards. Went on to take first for the tourney. I'm in the top 1000 for the weekly game.
And.....I'm still a bit paranoid and suspicious. When I'm obviously being cheated at internet poker I get to sit back and smile and laugh at the weird things. When I win because apparently on a roll....is it me? Or am I being fed? In a two player game I called the slightly higher stack leader's all in with pocket KKs with my AJ offsuit and caught an ace on the flop and within a few hands won the game.
I can't give this a really high grade for the night. Let's call it a C plus.
