Thinking outside the box


The casual player doesn't get to see 1/1,000,000,000 of the garbage I have to put up with. Login, play one table, service the wife, eat dinner, service the wife again, feed the dog, pee, take the dog for a walk, try to service the wife when she complains about a migraine, pee, watch football, watch Burn Notice, clean up the dog puke, make a long run on sentence, take a shower and go to bed thinking that they played against some real humans at poker.

I remember the magical days nine years ago when I first cut my teeth on PokerStars and latched on to Omaha Hi-Lo. For a couple of months I thought how cool it was (even though I never had any intention of breaking out my wallet) and JennieSue was so fun and friendly.

But, having already entered the field as a strong poker player and suspicious my logical and observant mind exploded into an enormous amount of thinking- "WTF?"

I redesigned my game to not worry about my own chips to investigating what people out there are doing with their chips. That's when I found out that internet poker hated me and that more often than not the play was designed to make me lose instead of playing to win.

Since I am insanely competitive this had the adverse effect. Bring it on. Chips are a necessary evil, I will start over at the minimum 1k and play your crazy all AI filled tables. Maybe twice a week I sit at a game where I get to say to myself, "That wasn't too bad."

The thousands of players multi table tourneys have always proven to be a big waste of time and energy. So the 1 table sit and go games are nice. Login, resgister for the table, service the blow-up doll, feed the dog, pee, service the blow-updoll again, and get dealt some non-random cards and deal with the fallout.

OK, so where the hell are you going with this other than proclaiming you are a Mountain Dew slamming nerd that has nothing better to do with your life than play Warcraft and internet poker.

90% of my time on internet poker is about looking for things that don't make sense. The huge amount of screenshots posted these past several years are suspicious at the minimum.And drawing on a hard 19 and getting a 2 on blackjack - come on, who are you kidding?

So outside thew cars (the box) my superhuman powers of perception have noticed this. Hundreds of sit and go games on Pokerstars, I've NEVER been the first to click "OK" and sit at the table. Try it. I have actively tried the past few weeks and it just cannot happen. AI directly connected to a server ALWAYS gets there first.

Old McDonald had a farm AI AI O.

No credibilty for this site until I actively try to sit first and make it.
