Full Tilt still doesn't get it

"It" is what I'm all about. It's not the chips I win or lose. It's about my constant search to watch you do something stupid to embarrass yourself.

Prelude -

Several days ago on a high stakes table I kept at it and nuked my 30,000+ chips to prove that I was not getting a stitiscally real number of winners. Then, I guess they felt sorry for me....or just weren't paying attention and in no time here I am back to 11,000.

Time to play a game I hate - the huge multi-table tourney. This one was 90 players. And Of course I got to see the reasons I hate multi-table games. The low 250 buy in and the desire to get off to a good start means that you're looking at an all in for the first three hands minimum. And since my cards in the first few hands have never been good I'm always short stacked when the play settles down into almost real poker. That's where the chip leaders bully there way by small raises and can't suffer any damage from the small stacks.

As a grandmaster of forensic game analysis I purposefully didn't play a single hand and watched and see if they would let me make it to the final table and in the money. I finished 11th out of 90. Since I was so close without playing real poker, I booted up a second 90 player game.

And since I'm paying more attention to others instead of my cards and chips I noticed these gems-

Within 4 hands the game was down to 30 players from the original 90. Within 10 hands it was less than 20.

Absolutely no patience whatsoever. Raise, raise, raise I'm all in on 6-4 off suit pre-flop.

Which is indicative of AI instead of real humans.

And at the start of the second table the "player" that won the first pot posted a friendly message, "Dude, just give it up." Not a response to anyone else. And his bad beat flush won against several calls to his all in. The translation, "Dude, I can toggle cheat mode whenever I want. You're not winning any chips on my watch."

Operation Sit and Go is on for Full Tilt.
