OK, one more before the vacation

Time to tie in and reiterate some thoughts about bingo, folding, statistics and taunting. I figured I'd sit in on a table, play 40 hands, win my statistically reasonable share. Then, catch a movie and call it as night. Get up and start thinking about working 60 hours a week this weekend and just settle down, then get back to this in March.

Not surprisingly, my PokerStars table was completely unreasonable.

Bingo, by it's very nature is unreasonable. And that's what I had to put up with for 45 minutes. The problem with the math of bingo is that players (and the tables are almost always completely full) call in on the stupidest shit. The supposed experts have great cards and/or catch on the turn and/or river. They build up big chip stacks which give them the comfort of going all in or at least making a more than modest raise pre-flop on the next hand.

And magically newer players to the table call it and lose. Over and over and over again. So amazingly, there are something like 2 billion people in the world that have nothing better to do with there life than go all in or at least call an all in bet, lose their chips and reload and restart the process without ever playing a single hand of real poker.

I'm not one of those people (yeah, I said people, that's funny.) I will fold almost every single irrational pre-flop bet. This is because I'm competitve, I want to see the chips grow BY PLAYING REAL POKER. Any moron can push their chips all-in. And when you have a rigged table and rigged AI you don't have to think about. Which is actually a pretty funny comment because rigged AI doesn't think. It just accepts the statiscally unreasonable great cards and pushes a huge amount of chips in the pot.

Lots of times I express my distaste for bingo by timing out. I didn't do that tonight. Instead, I just folded an insane amount of hands Sure, some of them would have won. But only if I was dumb enough to call an all-in pre-flop with garbage and mangaed to catch on the river. There's no such thing as buying into a hand with the minimum and seeing a flop. Because a server with an infinite chip stack has nothing to lose.

And admins...gotta love them. Just like the experience of seeing FackingChicken on Absolute, and all the taunting names on Ultimate Blackjack (please refer to earlier posts), PokerStars also doesn't like you folding instead of losing. I'm pretty sure this table has a name taunting me, especially after the constant "play to make me lose instead of playing to win betting strategy." I'm not going to tell you which one yet since I will search and see what they play like in the near future.
