Okay, let's review a couple of facts I can prove


And then let's throw in some slapdash speculation on why there is so much cheating on the free money tables.


General Facts - and the screen shots are here to prove it.


1) AP and UB have merged.

2) UB had a bunch of accounts obviously created on the fly as a parody of my table name - the old Rtch1 account. Richerone, Richest, Richone2. And the vulgar one's telling people to eat bodily excretios and some such nonsense. Not surprisingly, those didn't actually make it to the table. And this is damaging, because if you went the through the whole process of creating a new account and validating it, you might as well at least play the 1000 free chips instead of making your name statement then disappearing. Same for the parodies.

3) Both sites have joke names show up to complain about abnormal play. If you fold a lot on Absolute you get to play against "FACKINGCHICKEN." If you timeout every hand on UB, you get to play against "TURTLE XING." Turtle may have been created on the fly, but Chicken has been around for years.

4) There are some obviously strange player names. Like all those mentioned above. Chicken on AP, Pustule, Carbuncle, Acne, all the other synonyms of acne. You could call yourself Joe719, but you settled on "Pustule" instead. As a gesture of defiance I am Pustule on CityPoker, and in months of play only one person has ever acknowledged it as being stupid.


And no matter what site, the play on Omaha Hi-Lo no limit is ridiculously aggressive. Kind of like the outcome of the hand is known before the flop is ever played. Knowing this, I follow my rules. No raising. The feeders, like my good ol' friend Freckledmom has degenerated into, will do it for you. Don't play anything remotely seriously until you have gotten at least one ace and have folded a hand that otherwise would have won. Don't play seriously when the chit chat is insane. Don't declare operating loss tax carryforwards from depreciable items declared on previous tax years. (The IRS hates that.)


So tonight's table was yet another massive fold session. With Freckled on board, and the first I've seen her in ages, it was no surprise. I've spent so much time on PokerStars the past few weeks I had given AP a break.


The ace receiving rule was picked up early. But kind of strange. My first four hands with an ace each had two of 'em. And every single one had an ace appear in the community cards. Three of them were solid embarrassing losers. One might have been a folded winner with AAA99, but that guy sure bet like he had 4 of a kind. As there were no callers, the "hand folded that would have won" rule wasn't met.


A couple of hands later that rule is finally met. Therefore on hand 24 of the night with yet another pair of aces I go ahead and play bingo with these idiots and win 95k. And then, the very next hand, "CANUPEAK" shows up at the table.


OK, let me guess this right.


You've been playing long enough to get the max buy in of $20,000 you sat in on with, and you picked a stupid name that no one in their right mind would probably use. And coincidentally, it's directly after the only hand I won all night. And you came on like gangbusters and won 60k within like 5 hands.


Are you either:

1) Accusing me of cheating?

2) Bragging that you can cheat?

3) Some idiot that couldn't think of a real username, and you even used PEAK, instead of PEEK?


Or, someone please explain to me how "CANYOUREACHTHESUMMIT" shortened to fewer characters is a really cool user name that someone would want to pick? I'm going to have to raise the "bullshit" card on this one. Very dubious.


I would prefer to mess with PokerStars for a bit more. But, this is you're choice AP. Do you really want to stay up on my radar screen? You also had some bogus race tables with the non-existent PUTANGSUE 'playing.'


Your choice. Stop the BS pre-flop raises, let me win a statiscally realistic number of hands and I promise you I'll go away and retire with my 3 million chips. Keep cheating and, well, since I'm smarter than you I'll probably find some new and devious ways to mess with you and/or use my 7 year plus garnered bag of tricks to prove my point.
