Before talking about the pretty pictures (and I'm not talking about the hot Asians) I want to mention that I played an 18 player sitter before this. My first four hands - 75,54,63,76. And if I were playing agaisnt real people I can't begrudge at least one chip leader betting people out of the pot. It's irksome that I'm getting cards hardly worth calling, much less raising.

Now, for the Stud Hi-Lo table. PokerStars made a ton of mistakes tonight.

MenOue was obviously not a serious position. In a fixed limit game, raising every chance, pouting and sitting out, popping back in to time out and just being generally fucking annoying.

On the more subtle side I present you with these inconsistencies on supposedly playing against real humans that aren't.

I don't have a pretty picture that can show this, but jkw did something which I have at times taken adavatage of, but then reversed course. A button option is available to fold to any bet. You can tell by the speed of the "check" that a player is ready to give up the ghost. My cards were crap and I was not interested in bluffing. After the next card he was raising and won the hand. Either the most brilliant player at the table or bogus AI, you decide.

The real meat on discovery while getting cheated is the "player" that has only 22 chips left and is in on the next hand. Every single other position has a crapload more chips and at least three more Asian girlfriends than you do. And apparently you have taken two more hits on the crack pipe, forgotten that you only have 22 chips and made a call. This leaves you existentially fucked.

There's no way you can come back on a full table The proper human reaction is to just go all in and raise your paltry $7 remaining.

But the AI algorithm has its weird standards.

Me and my crack team of short stacked players (me and the dog) are laughing at this. As we will for months
