I had to give UB a break when I had my A-game on. It's just getting too easy. And since you never know where I'll pop up (but I'm surely swayed to low level games) I chose:
Full Tilt - I'm still building and don't have too many chips.
Table #1 - 9 player sit and go with a $250 (naturally play money) buy in. In the first 6 hands, playing by the book, I should have been in on 5 of them. And I would have won all five. 2 would have been magical flops on cards that a sane player would not call on. 2 would have been bad beats that I would have won on the turn or river. One was a hand I should have called, but it was only hand #2. Pocket 88s and being naturally suspicious I missed getting the winning full house after my bad cards on the first hand watching 4 players call a pocket K all in on the first hand.
Hand number 7 - pocket Aces. Every fiber of my being screamed to fold it. Instead I called, raised and won. And realized that for whatever reason it was pretty dang obvious it was being thrown to me. As much as last night's 44 hands before getting an ace, the cards and flops I was getting were ridiculously good. And, you can't win on the "making it look for real" homefront by me. Bogus poker is bogus poker whether I win or lose.
Table 2 - 10/20 limit HORSE. Now, that's more like it. Almost every hand had the same raise, raise, raise, raise, call, call, call, I fold, pattern that Absolute and UB used to do months ago. Thankfully for the poker world they have reprogrammed and the games have calmed down a lot.
Table 3 - 2 table Hold'em no limit sit and go. I correctly guessed that they were not going to throw another one at me. I didn't win a single hand until the final table where I was by far the shortest stack. More importantly, I only folded one hand along the way that would have won if I stayed in. Including automitically folding pocket JJs that would have lost to pocket QQs. Just like my many second place finishes on NLOP without winning a single hand, taking the 4th place money on an 18 player game while winning just one hand is really pretty stupid. But then, I am an expert at spotting when the cards are truly random and the play is for real.
