By now everyone is surely familiar with the story of how L. Ron Hubbard invented internet poker. The Scientology texts are just full of the stuff. Once you've paid for the basics and you start working up the bridge by eliminating you're brainwashed alien parasites you must pay for some serious auditing to make it past PokerStars.
After I escaped from GoldBase I made a career of stealing cable from my neighbors and selling encyclopedias door to door. Spiritually, this was very unsatisfying. The first magical hand on PokerStars changed my life.
For the past few months, the typical. Hell no - every single free money table - on PokerStars has had at least one and usually two or three jackasses timing out. I call this the "LRH" table, and I'm pretty certain the modus operandi (check - operandi) is to make me so bored I will not screw with them anymore. LRH stands for "Long Ridiculous Halt." And as far as making the table look for real it's about 1 9 millionth as believable as the Xenu story. You see, I have way too much time to kill and I play a lot of tables. If it happens once...meh. If it happens twice...cock an eyebrow. If it happens more than 100 times in months...WTF??? As a tactic to make me bored, this is wasted. I'm conservative to begin with, the TV is on and the dog is curled up next to me getting scratched behind the ears and the belly rubbed.
So tonight was so special because this did not happen. This was a Tom Cruise table. The play was lightning fast. It just cruised along.
However, as usual, there were still some mistakes. RDG tried to school us on how to play slow hands. Don't need any pointers, thank you very much. I learned how to be patient and not do something rash watching Tommy Davis on YouTube.
And then the infuriating Spanish or Portugese chat. Where are the English only admin nazis? Is this to become the single biggest rule break in a post time bank rule break era?
I am long overdue for some solid food other than rice and beans and my implants need to be reset. Me and my Asian entourage are headed to Venus once the weather cools down a bit.
