What I'm used to seeing, and busting on, are high buy in tables where the gentlemen and ladies I'm playing against have absolutely no clue about the basics. High hand wins? Low hand? Am I busy multi-tasking on Facebook? And are there any God damn leprechauns at the table?
After getting cheated last night I find my dwindling precious free money chip stack below what I need to sit at a 2k medium table. But, I have just enough that a first place finish on a 200 chip buy in single draw table will let my next game, if I so chose, be a 2k buy in.
The initial phase of the game was typically pointless and obviously rigged. When it settled into heads up with me in command my opponent simply would not die. It took another 45 minutes to finish him off.
In other words - the first opponent in months that hasn't played like a complete idiot. I attribute this to the buy in, for two reasons.
First, there's not much point cheating the annoying blogger on such a low level table. Got better things to do.
Second, and far more important. Finally some decent hands.
When there's not an active admin to rig a bad beat, the tried and true crappy card cheat is internet poker's lazy way out.
