And I'm not just talking about the obvious stuff like the irrational run up in the stock market despite the US being in the worst economic conditions since the Depression. Or that a babe like Jarah would ever have the remotest chance of having feelings for a reformed ax-murderer like me. (It was an aerosol paint can, before the rumors spread too wildly. Neat little explosion that got me in trouble with Mom and Dad when I was a kid.)
It's the weird and stupid stuff that bothers me. Like, why is it 70 degrees and my neighbor revs his engine for 10 minutes before taking off at 6:00 am? You don't need to warm up the car. First ride ever and you love it? Probably. Why do my TBONZ dog snacks proudly proclaim that they are Porterhouse flavor? He's a freaking dog. He just knows they taste good. He doesn't care if they are chicken, porterhouse, bacon or Natalie Portman flavor. And why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?? (Acknowledgements to Stephen Wright.)
Last weekend was one of my most intense play a ridculous number of hours of poker ever since I had a half day vacation on Friday and Memorial Day to add to the "fun". In the short term, I don't mind or expect losing several tourneys in a row. Over such a long time when it became obvious that my cards were FAR below average I switched to, "Okay Let's be annoying" mode.
"Let's be annoying" mode is designed to elicit a response from real humans. Every irrational pre-flop bet is met with using the maximum amount of time before folding. Very unprofessional. Very bad etiquette. Tastes like Natalie Portman instead of porterhouse steak. Or vice versa depending on if you are a dog or a human.
(Please wait a minute, Portman's lawyers are calling me.)
OK, going to jail agian, this may be my legacy.
I find it very weird that in all my timing out over something like 40 hours of time at the tables on PokerStars that only one "player" posted the traditonal "zzzzzzzzz' complaint. And I'm not sure that was even directed at me!
And this is weird, too. I don't just play PokerStars. I'm all over the place. Please explain this internet poker:
On Full Tilt with 70,000 plus players going at it, when your hand is up for the action and you have the choice between calling, raising or folding the action is always a call or raise. With tens of thousands of players on PokerStars there is TONS of folding before you've ever been bet out of the hand. Me and my crack team of folding experts (me and the portmanhouse eating dog) can't figure it out.
Jarah suggest -
Maybe, just maybe. The AI programs on the two different sites are different.
No way babe. These are real people.
