Excuse for raising on Internet Poker





AI with an infinite chip stack has no problem with raising. There are lots of excuses. Somer are almostly believable, but 99% of the time they're just a screen for making the real human player to lose, feel uncomfortable and just give up unless they're courting you to break out the checkbook.

I haven't seen this in ages. RK actually had the audacity to use the "I have to leave" excuse. In the middle of a huge stretch of bad cards this fartbump posts he has to go. Lingers on, raising like crazy.

If you're serious about leaving there's a simple solution. Just fucking sit out. Log off. Pound a malt liquor, service the girlfriend, throw up, pee and go to bed. Or you could do what this rookie admin did in his/her attempt for a credible loss. Raise and stan pat.

This ploy has a fatal flaw for the serious "I want to lose" player. You could have discarded all your low cards in this lowball game instead of standing pat. I hate teaching PokerFrauds what they're doing wrong so they can cheat better, but there you have it guys and gals

Just like the "I have to go" cheat I haven't seen all of these in recent history as IP tends to be a bit more careful about me since my focus is on the bogus play instead of worrying about winning. Istead of rational based on math and understanding a bit about human nature we also have these excuses:

All In on the first hand when you have crap. Congratulations. Your bluff just made another non-human stronger.

The idiot - 25k buy in game and you play like you are in diapers.
The short stack - after a bad call I now must try to get back in the game and go all in.

I was disconnected (yeah - like dial up exists anymore) and I finally got back onto the game the gives me the most happiness in the world other than playing battleship against my kid sister. B4! I sunk your pair of aces!!!

As the alleged competition is mostly just a rigged computer program there's a lot of smartiliciousfullness (real word) to be done.

I'm smarter than you. A better poker player than you. More patient than you.
