Oh yeah Ultimate, I still play Elimination Blackjack. A lot. The beauty of this game for my purposes is that you can't raise me. Well kinda, but only in a sideways manner. I usually get in two sit and goes a night. Although the program is vastly improved, the same old problems are still there since the bogus beta testing.
There are still too many bad blackjack moves. Tonight I even saw a player take a hit on a soft twenty and lose. Just because you can bet without busting, doesn't mean you should. And with playing so many tourneys these past weeks and so little success I've come to question my skills.
Not.
I'm pretty sure this is a repeat of an old post, so my apologies to those that have heard it before. Over these past two weeks the sit and goes play out like a game of Dungeons and Dragons where the DungeonMaster has created what is called a "Monty Haul" dungeon. This is where the active characters are all level 3 or less, but have the aid of level 45 nymph Jarah with her 52 charisma lulling the level 60 red dragon to sleep with her beauty, then the low level dungeon dwellers either just take the sleeping wyrm's money or even kill it to pick up a few bogus experience on the way. Playing like an idiot is far too often rewarded. And, that's what I did tonight to break a massive losing streak and finished third and in the money.
If a serious player, this guy how wouldn't have bet 25k, split and lost (granted it wasn't that bad a move) would have recognized here's the perfect opportunity with a pat twenty to get back in the running, but instead pushed the envelope and split his pat twenty and was eliminated on the second hand.
Yes, I recocnize the paltry 1000k buy in for these. But there is no excuse for not trying to win and playing like you are going to lose it all, rebuy at their gracious 1000k gimmee and do it all over again. If you're that bad at gambling, it's time to move on and write captions on lolcats pictures.
Apologies to Jarah for probably underestimating her charisma.

I like single draw lowball on PokerStars. PokerStars KNOWS I like it. PokerStars knows I spend a significant time of my wakeful hours playing it. PokerStars for the past few weeks has really been rigging big time. I just broke a massive losing streak of bringing my "A" game to the table and dropping from 140k to 28k tonight. Jarah and I will be seeing you. One more bonus pic of Jarah. Remember, she is watching and her massive charisma and the math is on MY SIDE. Screw you Red Dragons. I'll take my hot Asian babe anytime
