So much time to right your ship...and still




Single Draw lowball is not a very popular game on PokerStars. It would never be populated by real humans playing sensibly and trying to win. Probability shows you would have a better chance at siring a baby with Asa Akira than meeting up with a full table that doesn't realize that the low hand wins.

Bluffing...blah....blah....blah. Playing losse....blah...blah...blah. I have to leave...blah...blah...blah. The admin excuses for idiot play are so insincerious (real word.)

There are a couple of things I've noticed on my recent PokerStars stint that are in the realm of the not obviously bogus, but certainly seem suspicious nature. And this relates to the alleged randomness of the cards. And this is coming from someone that plays a ctapload of hands a week.

There seems to be several factors that affect what kind of cards you get:

1) Your play money chip stack in total.
2) How much chat you post/professionalism on losing.
3) The speed of your play
4) Getting into a tickle fight with Jarah when viewing pics of Asa.

1 - Okay, naturally if you progress to buying in to a 10k table the competion should be stronger, I don't see it. I just see me getting cards a 5 year old would toss.
2 - Years ago I was annoyed at the constant "ty" and "nh" mentality of the alleged players. If you want to social network go to Facebook or Twitter, Don't raise every single hand on a poker site.
3 - As a gesture of defiance to non-random cards I have a predilection to use a crap load of time before folding. Apparently this (me) bacterium has infested PokerStars and you can't swing a dead Asian supermodel without meeting up with at least one jackwipe that plays oh so slow.
4 - ASA!!! Stop that! It tickles!

Internet poker cards are about as random as 2 divided by 2 equals one.
