Mostly because every site I play a multi table tourney on follws the same pattern.
Full Tilt, you're welcome for the vacation I gave you - time to play a meaningless 3 table, 100$ buy in tourney on Ultimate. I have 326k chips, so winning or losing means absolutely diddly to me. And, if the tourneys are going to continue like this I may just need to make it my life over the next several weeks and months.
On the very first hand bosox1991 whined about someone going all in with TT while his A9 was the winner with a couple of others calling. More annoying, taunting chat followed and bodix won three more of the next four hands. Can you say..."preprogrammed?" Within 7 minutes 8 players were gone. OK, that's possible. With a $100 free money buy in everyone is all loose without a care in the world. Naturally I survive several bad beats because playing anti-poker I avoid the loose play, even on hands I should call in on.
Switch to "target me" mode. Now the play is like everyone is playing like the mortgage on the house is on the line. I continue to fold way more hands then should be reasonable. Now, the chat switches to how the chip leader is in dire need to play another game and just goes all in every hand. When the simplest option was just to sit out and win the meaningless 500 or so chips his stack would have gotten him. After carefully picking my battles I am now in the chip lead with 4 players left. The previous leader gets done with his other project, including some bogus chat by an "observer" and is ready to play this meaningless table again. More bad beats, he's doing well again, and raising constantly.
The other two positions are still playing like the mortgage on the house is on the line. On a free money 100$ buy in table. Yeah, I do it, but what is your motivation to play for more than an hour on obviously bogus poker?
