Updates and who is playing and more Matrix on Full Tilt

Logging into AP tonight I was greeted with a friendly message I've seen many times before.

"There's a new version of our software, click here to install."

No, it's not a new version of the software. It's an update to the database.

I haven't played a whole lot of serious poker on AP lately. It's been far to much fun to watch "players" like Underboss, Am_I_Bluffin, Mouthy_One, etc... play bingo night after night. Add Freckledmom and Zippy from months ago to that list.

Now, suddenly they have grown tired of playing extreme bingo and posting "WEEEEEEEEEEE" in the chat and as I scan through all the free money Omaha High-Lo tables they aren't playing anymore. The only player I'm suspicious of that I've sat in with over the past few weeks out of dozens is PUNTANGSUE. (pause as I write that down for future reference.)

So, the collective has moved on. They must have found a site more enjoyable to earn 4,000,000 free money chips in a day and bet all in against each other. Nah, you just updated the database with a new stable of names. Like I've said. Seen it before. Without fail every new version of the software load has been equivalent to change the AI stable of names.

Another Matrix tourney on Full Tilt tonight. For now it's still fun, because it's different. But, I've already thought about the math some, and it's not a game to play to try and seriously win some major chips. You'd just be better off playing a two table game. Each of the four tables has a 1st to 3rd payout. The point score for the four tables has the same 3 player payout. Iif you take first on every table and you win the points for the matrix that's 9,000 x 5 = 45,000 maximum on a 10k buy in, net 35k. The thought that someone gets such great cards and is so skillful that they can accomplish this is completely unreasonable. I have essentially broken even on my expeditions into this game. And that's what should be expected assuming players of equal skill. So, tired of playing hearts on your PC, go ahead and play this game. You'll either lose your 10k buy in or break even.
