Careful now, make sure you know the rules. Jarah Mariano is watching

When I'm not in the mood to mess with an obviously unreasonable table I have a couple of favorite games. Fortunately, these often turn into unreasonable tables.

I feed off the weird games, and I've probably only played about 15% of my tables on Hold'em.

The game of the day is 2-7 5 card single draw. For the previous two days I couldn't buy a winner if my life depended on it. Tonight, I couldn't buy a loser if my life depended on it. And it's pretty much all a matter of understanding the program. Scored 40k.

Yes, program. Not real people. I'm conservative, but I mix it up a bit. You can play an entire sit and go for two hours and predict the reactions of your opponents. Normally it's a lot of abusive "we don't want you seeing this bogus stuff, I'm going to raise like crazy" nonsense.

I'm willing to concede that fish's all in was a bluff. Thiis was a 2k sit and go. After dispensing of the opposition in near record time I set my sights on a 10k buy in game.

Now here's the problem with cal, and all the internet poker world mentality of "Oh, it's just free chips." You just decided to on a 10k table. Allegedly, since you don't have the starter 1k chips there must be some skill. And you raised every single hand. And drew cards, never having a pat hand. And when my, "I can't buy a losing hand" settings beat you, you nuked it and got out of the game.

The game that I still had to play real poker (despite getting great hands) to finish it off. An eight person game. Why? Why are you there? If you want to play bingo and/or raide on crap poker why are you there? There are thousands of bingo games on the net. Just play Omaha Hi-Lo. Don't magically appear on my sit and go on a weird game that you suddenly got a thirst for.

But the real jewel is Pedro. This is the same 10k buy in game, I have a killer and go all in with a sizable stack. And you call me! With an ace? In a lowball game where ace is only high? Are you on crack, stupid, or AI?

I admit I do have an unfair advantage. My guardian angel, Jarah is still looking out for me. Perhaps she influenced your bad decision. Instead of using math to decide whether to fold, raise or call, I simply look at my bracelet that has just four letters. WWJD. What would Jarah do?
