NLOP, I've seen this movie once before

Story about some broken hearts. Or something like that. I think Y&T had a song with lyrics like that.

You did so well for a couple of days. Bu then you had to screw me over with the old tried and true let's give the guy unreallistically crappy cards thing.

Tourney #1 -since they had been so nice I play on the up and up and all my nice little pocket pairs eventually end up to be losers. In 20+ hands I have no winners and didn't fold a single hand that would have been a winner.

Tourney #2 - time to play by the bogus rules. I fold virtually every hand. In a 30-40 plus hand tourney I back into second place without winning a single hand by watching the bad AI beat itself to death. To their credit, I often complain about the lack of playing to win and playing to make me lose. The AI played to win and I backed in.

Tourney # 3 - yet again, more ridiculous cards. Lots of patient folding on my part. Short stacked as normal since there's no such way as winning the first hand and getting off to a big chip lead.

The cards you get seem to be related to your rank for the top 1000 and playing for the big money game. I wasn't suppossed to finish 2nd in tourney #2. I was suppossed to be so depressed on my loss that I'd move on to another bogus poker site. But, I was still hungry to see if they would continue the bs.

Tourney #3 was very strange. Lately I've caught how you can see players sitting out and waiting to make it work to my advantage (players in post and fold mode are not bold print.) After tonight I'm pretty sure they know I know since players "wake up" to call or raise. There's no reason to go post and fold. You can stay active and just fold like I do. It's just another tiny little thing they can do to trick you into calling or raising when it's rigged to make you lose.

I didn't have to worry about that. My hands were so statiscally crappy bad I got to enjoy folding almost all of them.

Actually, I enjoy folding on poker sites more than anything else. The admins love to screw you over, and the wild flame-out messages are one of the few perks they get. I don't do that anymore, and from messages posted this week it just annoys the hell out of them.
