After the spectacular success of Operation First at the Table. PokerStars now sits everyone automatically and immediatley. Almost.
This table had multiple mistakes. Dej didn't sit right away. There was a pause of a couple of seconds. Duce didn't sit at all. Ahhh yes, the beloved opponent that doesn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else. At least there was no Time Bank problems this game. (Next update I expect to see a fix, dammit!)
Mistake #2. 4 all ins on the first hand which allows a huge stack to be generally annoying all game long.
Mistake #3 - The friendly message from Dej. Let's assume I've never played against Dej before. This should be safe because dang, 200k people are playing at the same time. The "**** you xenu" message was the only chat posted all game long. Relative to my typical response to the bs I was a perfect gentleman tonight. Just trying to unwind after a rough weekend. I did use extra seconds on the first 8 hands or so, but I settled into just not worrying about being annoy. Because I knew mistake #4 was coming up.
Mistake #4 - the awakening of the Ducebag. I knew it was inevitable. Ducebag woke up with less than 500 chips and came on like gangbusters. Not surprisingly after this point my cards turned to total monkey pus and after a bit of a struggle to try and stay in the game I eventually just got blinded into kingdom come.
Combining some intel on these events it's likely my active weekend stepped on the toes of some admin Dej was in control of, and as happens sooooo often PokerStars sitting out is for an admin to save an active position to be annoying with.
Knowing you are not going to win is a very liberating experience. There's no pressure. The outcome has been predecided. And hopefully I will get the pleasure of butting heads with Dej/Ducebag admin many times in the near future.
