NLOP - you think you're clever, but you're not

OK, I was wrong about the free points. The question of the day is worth 500 instead of 100 now.

There's a new player in town. The 5 person game that you have to finish first or second to get points. I played two 5 player games sandwiched around a 10 player game. Using my tried and true folding like crazy strat I won second in the ten player game.

The five player games were both...ridiculous.

In here, the players that can't possibly lose get great cards and win every hand. Except for one or two key hands where the leader folds or even dumps some chips on a second poition to assure that they take second. I haven't seen so many bad beats in two hours over a month of internet play...naturally every decent hand I did call was rolled.

And as for the being clever thing...

This site, when the 10 player game options were the only choice was extremely slow. Now all of a sudden in 5 player games "everyone" plays at a normal rate of speed instead of thinking forever.

OK, let me think about this...ten player game, the previous player folds and you think for ten seconds efore you act. Five player game, you react instantly.

This will, of course, be proven over the course of this next week or two. Since I don't even care if I qualify for the big game on Sunday I'm willing to nuke lots of chips on playing the bogus five player tables.
