Sitters

Picking and choosing my battles I've spent a heckuva lot of time in the 1 million chip range lately. So instead of just busting on the low level games I have the luxury of going to a high sit and go.

Now, three weekends in a row I've been teased like crazy. Top two places finish in the money, I finish third. Top five finish in the money, I finish sixth. Top 32 finish in the money, I finish 31st for insgificant chips.

Two consecutive high buy-in games, and I am treated with such disdain that someone with no skill to amass enough chips to sit at the table has the audacity to sit out. Yep, I'm multi-tasking - I'm having sex with my girlfriend, pounding down a bottle of Jack Daniels, eating a taco, walking the dog and chasing the midget next door with a broom....just for the fun of it.

And don't even bother with the midget reference, the lawyers have already called. I know it was insensitive. But, what you need to realize is that it's a midget Scientologist named David Miscavige, and he's been trying to reg me for more courses up the bridge and threatened me with bodily violence.

Like Scientology, internet poker is self-destructing. The rage from 6 years ago is gone, the sites continue to populate the playing field with liberal amounts of rigged AI and when you play with some modicum of sanity you are bad beaten into kingdom come. Idiot play is rewarded, ON THE FREE MONEY TABLES. Because the training to play like an idiot when you are finally stupid enough to break open the checkbook gets them that couple of bucks to keep the grist mill going.

Fairly recently PokerFrauds sent me a friendly email regarding how I should sign a petition to make internet poker legal. No way. Nothing would make me happier than to watch you crash and burn like Blockbuster video that screwed me over with their "late return-you bought the movie policy." I cut my membership card in half and mailed it back to them. Mostly because they didn't have a single movie with Jarah in it, secondarily because of the cheating me out of my money.
