The newest extreme in online poker stupidity - the LindaHayes incident

For God's sake, don't even offer Omaha Hi-Lo as a game if you can't table enough real human players. This was so rigged on so many levels, it's impossible that a sane human could believe it was for real.

Sleep. Check. Woke up rested and refreshed at 12:30 am EST. Coffe. Check. Just for good measure, even though caffeine and I don't get along too much, I enjoyed a cup of Vietmanese coffee. (Thanks Nhung!) Food. Check. Since I was messing with Citypoker so much yesterday I missed out on the basic need for food.

So, I'm in this for the long haul. Hours at sitting at AP.

Contrary to an ordinary mortal I search out the most unreasonable looking table. Great, I found one with a plyer with 400k+, several others with more than 100k+. Time to sit in and make the vacuums go against each other.

What???? An empty seat at the table when I click in and it's reserved? And, WHAT!? When I click on the wait list I'm fourth!? Within a few seconds four people jumped ahead of me?!?

Actually, pretty cool, because it again proves I'm not playing against real people.

Finally, after much dilly-dallying I get to sit in. After a couple of hands an observer posts that they are going to "help Linda" on another table. In order to enturbulate things I decided to check the other table out. I sit in and I'm bombarded with messages about how I need to sit out because these peeps are helping Linda. I cut them a break and ducked out. Back to the first table and more folding. An occasional call that loses and more folding.

And within a few hands Linda shows up. She plays like a chump feeder, lingers around and starts to score. Then the admin starts to go crazy and does all the things wrong with the chat that I've grown accustomed to. "WEEEEEEEEEE" on a bingo win. "Thanks, HUN" (it's never "Honey" or any other mock up.)

I did win most of the chips back I lost on the bingo nonsense. But I had to 'play' 42 hands before something resembling real poker was at the table. And when I ducked out after 54 hands I had all the way 11 aces. Ridiculous,
