Every day is a race day on Internet poker

It doesn't matter if you're one of the big sites - PokerFrauds, UltimateCheat, Absolutely Awful, Full Shilt - even the tiny sites like CityPoker have these pervasive, annoying crime against nature race tables.

Omaha Hi-Lo is the game of choice. And the reason it's the game of choice (and the actions of the "people" populating the tables speaks volumes about Internet poker free money game validity.

The ordinary person wanting to play poker should have a mindset that they are getting into a game to get a challenge. My brain against yours. The race table is all-in every hand. I watched this table long enough to see the moderator post a "New game will start soon message." In other words, a fresh race table would start soon, everyone starts with the same chips and he who stands alone last wins a cheese wheel, a toaster and the admiration of the opponents for the next seven minutes.

Based on observation of extreme lack of driving skills and my own superhuman powers of patience I do not feel a need to join such a game and win a million free money chips in two hours. Hey, that light is yellow. I'm stopping. You wanna swing around me, run the red and take that left turn into traffic, fucking go for it. I have the satisfaction of knowing that there's a damned good chance you will be removed from the gene pool for such activity.

And I always get a chuckle

(two hour break)

Sorry, laughed so hard I cried.

That these race tables are presented that I'm allowed to play on them. Internet Poker - wise up. Just alter the program so that I get a message that it's a private table and I'm not welcome.

Only one game for me tonight. Because I seek competition (at times) and not being cheated.

The typical PokerFrauds sit and go - and we are talking in the 90% range of all the tables I play - has a well established reeks of AI pattern.

Incompetent player (AI) raises into a killer. Expert number one created. Real human - crap cards for a dozen or more hands. Expert number two created. Real human still gets crap cards. Real human short stacked and only Phil Hellmouth could get back to praying that he'd finish in the money.)

Now, if I was a casual twice a week looking for some competition person I might not notice. But as a 30+ hours a week guy I get to see funkalicious doodlebungo on a regular basis.
