More Internet Poker Nuttiness

I thought being bitten by a mosquito in the Eastern US on October was the nuttiest thing I'd have to deal with. But poker does not disappoint.

Let's get the race table out of the way. Full table. Waiting list. And one position has 1.2 million chips on a 20k buy in game. Huff said.

The real eyebrow upturner was my 10k lowball draw game. Let me think aminute on how realistic this is. You have more than 10k to buy into this table. You make a point of chatting about not understanding the rules. Several players explain that low hand wins and aces are high. Against my normal nature I post that 75432 of different suits is the best hand. Two others post that 75432 is the best hand.

And the very next hand the moron calls big bets with an ace high club flush.

It's so easy to be critical of Internet Poker beyond the cards. My guess is that this was me, a bored admin that badly needed a cigarette break or had ordered pizza that was about to be delivered and 5 AI positions.

Thanks for the second place finish and the screenshots. When I buy into a 25k table tomorrow, let's see if the quality of play looks like there was actually enough talent to garner the buy in.
