Sit and Go on Full Tilt

Interesting 28 hands for me tonight. An 18 player sit and go. My table of nine has six go all in on the first hand. There was only a 250 chip buy in, so I can forgive the mentality of trying to take control of the table and going all in with complete crap on the first hand.

Numerically my cards weren't too bad over the 28 hands. What was a little weird was that only three of them had the cards suited. And no pocket pairs at all. And hands 3 through 7 my hole cards were A2, QJ, KT, KQ, QJ (all offsuit). But since I'm on to the fraud, I folded every single one. I got to see the winners cards on every one of those hands, and naturally I would have lost every single one. Finally at the final table, by far the shortest stack, I went all in with KT, flopped a pair of kings and naturally got a bad beat on the river.

Statistically, not too weird. Just a guy getting bad cards and can't make it. It happens. I don't expect to place in the money every sit and go.

But, since I've been preying a lot upon this site recently I've seen this has been virtually the same pattern for 7 consecutive tourneys. I have managed last place in the money (3rd or 4th) in one or two of them. But, just like NLOP is a master at, there's no such thing as getting off to a good start for a real human player. Only one of the 7 tourneys had any kind of chat at all.

It's all indicative of AI playing out pre-programmed hands, and the stretch of decent cards I had early on is supposed to eliminate me before I see the continued nonsense of things like the chip leader acting like they can't lose and feeding the other positions.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. Play to win. Don't play to make me lose. It will make it look a lot more realistic.
