Always looking for a new angle

And still the poker sites haven't found a good way to deal with me and make the game look for real.

During my career I've feasted on fixed limit games. These have been clenaed up a lot. Strange how when for months at a time everyone thought it would be fun to max out the betting every turn of a card, now it's no longer fun and the betting is more rational. So now, Iive switched to huge multi-table games, which present their own set of problems. First of all, the standard trick is to make the real human player become short stacked. This is accomplished in two main ways. Either the human players first table is so slow compared to the rest, or the cards are so worthless, or both. Throw in a marginal hand that you bet on and lose to a killer along the way.

Then, in desperation with finally getting some decent cards one all-in bad beat is all it takes to eliminate you. If you haven't already been eliminated by the marginal hand losing to a killer.

How about this for some fun....fold everything. I learned this from NLOP when I took second 4 times in two weeks without winning/calling a single hand.

My two recent experiences on Full Tilt with this have had mixed results. The big difference is that its a 90 player game instead of 10 player game. My goal of making it to the final table without calling a single hand has been thwarted both times. I still have seen some pretty strange things.

Is it really reasonable that a 90 player game at the start is down to 40 after 5 minutes? Down to 24 after 15 minutes? And why is it that when I get moved to another table and based on chip stack size there's someone else that also hasn't played a hand suddenly wakes up and plays? And why did the 10k chip stack that folded every hand at that table suddenly wake up and play one hand when I flopped a straight....that I folded right away that would have lost to a flush with a bad beat river? And when it got down to a two table game with me in second to last did both tables turtle up and avoid calling each others bets? Calling on crap and winning on a bad beat is what got you there. No reason to stop now.

Except that's fairly obvious you're playing to make me lose instead of playing win.

This should provide hours of fun in the near future since chat has been posted that my lack of calling is annoying to them. Let me think about this....I don't actually play and I can still finish 11th out of 90. (Granted I did play and win on two hands...but remember with a 90 player game two hands won out of the many is silly low, and as usual most of the hands I folded would not have won.)
