The bottleneck factor


I'm not talking about Jarah's perfect 34-23-33 figure.
Imagine a 40k max buy-in table where 2 "players" have more than 1.5 mil, another is just south of 1 mil, 2 others have over half a million. For arguments sake, let us imagine that these "players" have been drinking Mountain Dew for 12 hours and have played hundreds of poker hands for those 12 hours. Let's throw in someone with 250k just for good measure. And a sitter, that's cool.
The result is a table with more vacuums than feeders, and despite the chat that didn't make any sense I have to call bullshit on this table.
Supplementing the vacuums, the wait list is 10 deep. The other way for new money to flow to the table is "players" with infinite chips going all in and rebuying. I'm talkin' about you Stare111, I watched this bogus table for more than an hour.
I get a great starter hand with A2 and go all in and naturally lose. These "players" don't have my lack of patience (sarcastic) and they wait till they have a lock and go all in only when the deal is sealed.
I can and will take advantage of the bottleneck. It's a simple matter of looking for the biggest waiting list, joining it and then folding to slow the AI vs. AI game down.
At one time the wait list was 16 "players". So many people willing to go all in and lose. Unreal.
