Jarah Mariano defiant - why do people play internet poker like idiots?


Why do "people" play internet poker free money games like idiots?

My private investigator I hired for our legal battle caught her in this pose which basically says, "Harumph..internet poker is bullshit." And he has an audio tape that records her saying, "Harumph..internet poker is bullshit." Although it may have been "Harumf" instead of "Harumph."
I very generously let PokerStars know here that I had caught on to the inordinate number of times that on a lowball game there's way too many times that someone plays like the high hand wins. Yet still, early on in a sit and go here's someone that has nothing better to do with their lives then commit poker suicide by playing high on a lowball game.
What you can't see from the screen shot is that the suicider is the one that bet all in after heavy raising. Yeah, like bluffing every works on this site on a full table. Draws one card and he's gone.
Harumph.
So let's modify the question - do you really have nothing better to do with your life then log into a poker site and go all in on the first hand and pray everyone folds? No chores to do to earn your 5$ allowance? No new Jarah pics on the web? No new bottle sucking (since you obviously play like an infant), no depreciating operating loss carry forwards from a previous tax year? (Dog's suggestion, not my fault.)
A coworker mentioned a class he had on fraud, and internet poker came up. My what a surprise there. He should have been thinking about Jarah and not the consequences of logging in to a poker site and losing. There was a specific reference to "Bots" in that conversation. So let's bump this from many old posts.
The insinuation is that "Bots" are created by nerdy computer geeks and they insinuate themselves on the tables of internet poker sites. The reality is that you are just playing a computer program and the "Bots" are simply AI designed to give the illusion of competificall (it's a word) skills.
A couple of challenges still hold true. Prove to me that every single table I sit is populated by real humans. Let us see what some poker professionals think about this.
70,000 "people" playing each night. I don't think so. Neither does Jarah. Neither does the dog.
