Internet Poker - Beyond the lack of random cards





Tonight's transgressor will be aliased as dopke because that's the screen name he/she/it went by.

Pretty much nobody with any talent but us here at The Big Laydown bothers to play in a multi-player fixed limit 7 stud high low game. But we love'em because there's surely going to be something wrong.

If you have the good sense to fold a lot since the early hands are always raised to the max allowed (which is bogus enough in and of itself) you get a side dish of getting the chance to notice that you can play more than 100 hands without a single character of chat being posted.

And, with the confidence of knowing I can duplicate this and Internet poker has no explanation, dopke did something I've seen before. He/she/it, with major emphasis on the it part of that, got all happy about pairing it's ace on the first non-flop card. So juiced by this glorangilicious (real word) gift, it raised. Unfortutitudinal (real word) it transperenterized (real word) the lack of humanity.

As cards are being dealt there are no menu options available to real players. There are some check boxes - you can sit out or fold to any bet. But when the last card of a new hand is dealt you need to wait for a menu screen to come up to fold, raise or tag a team member that hasn't been hit in the head with a folding chair and knocked unconscious.

Dopke (probably not it's real name - probably really just Dope) literally raised within a fraction of a second. And were talking a lot closer to 0 seconds than 1 second.

Dear player who is thinking about playing for real money please remember this often repeated comment here.

Yes, this is a play money game. But they continue to claim that these are real people so the lobby shows 200k players when reality is that there are seven.
