Have you ever played on a table where someone raise almost or every single hand? I do a lot. And I'm convinced it's because my reputation precedes me. Not surprising is that this works. The crazy raising moron consistently draws great cards. Like they have some prescient knowledge of the outcome.
Last night I identified the rulebreaker early on - didn't sit at the table right away. There were two other sitters. One literally played no hands (also a rule breaker not even sitting for the first hand.) The other popped in with 300 chips late into my massive folding session versus the cheater, folded one hand and sat out the rest. All three of these spots are not consistent with real human nature. 2k buy in game - if you are playing seriously why sit? If you're playing competively, why raise on virtually every hand? It's mindless and reeks of knowing you have toggled cheat mode and that you are going to win. Since it was a fixed limit game I was able to win enough hands to fold my way to second.
Just as disturbing is the 2-7 lowball table I sat at after the boredom of that crap. I got so many stastically great cards I folded some hands on purpose in disbelief on my way to taking first.
Now, since I fold so much it's not like I've played 8 hands and got eliminated and don't see the kinds of cards my erstwhile opponents get. I get dozens of reads on what the stats are like, and the math is way off base.
The cards are plain and simply not random. And tonight's two tables were not too bad, but I was definitely drawing the short end of the stick. As previously posted, when an active admin is not deliberately controlling the game, certain spots are seeded with far above average cards to give the illusion of competence. I can't tell if my lowball game last night was seeded with losers or an admin with a conscience.
