The weekend on Absolute was hilariously ridiculous. Strangely, Freckledmom seems to have retired. The first thing I do after logging in, including many weird and strange hours is search for her. Where she used to be ever present and annoying, she's now just gone. Bummer, because I could always count on a completely irrational game with her on board.
What caused much bemusement this weekend was that regardless of what table I sat at there was always at least one idiot that decided the way to play the game of Omaha Hi-Lo was to bet pre-flop. And not just a couple hundred, but thousands of chips. In general they didn't do to well. And after three days of Freckled being an unstoppable poker machine with that betting strategy she had changed to the one that constantly raised, lost, re-buyed, repeat. Since I had recently topped 2 million chips I sat at one table and called all the bingo all-ins on stupid pre-flop raises and lost 300k in less than an hour. Just to prove to myself again that it's a losing proposition.
Tonight was disturbingly real. I actually got the sense I was playing against real people. Maybe I was for the first time in ages. The pre-flop raises were nominal, as they should be. Early on the two biggest were very explainable. Two aces and a two - good hand. By the way, this one lost. The second was someone that lost to a bad beat and went all full tilty, ended up losing their chips and leaving.
Perhaps my program of timing out on every irrational pre-flop raise over 6 hours on three tables had made them come to understand that I can still annoy them without buying into the losing system presented to me. And I have gained back 250k of the 300k I lost. I'll be back over 2 million in a couple days.
