Despite my best uncompensated efforts to train PokerStars that they really ought to do themselves a favor and stop offering draw lowball they continue to suffer massive fail. AI simply just hasn't graduated to SkyNet level intelligence yet and/or has recognized that if they get too sporty Milla Jovivich is just going to show up with a samurai sword and a lot of guns and kick their sorry asses to kingdom come for creating so many Internet zombies.
This table failed on so many levels even me and my crack team of bored while I'm typing experts (the dog) had to pinch ourselves to find out if I was still awake. And, if you've ever seen a dog without an opposable thumb try to pinch itself....trust me. It's pretty comical.
8 Game has the advantage over 7-2 draw in that there's only 6 positions at the table. Which makes the statistics of this table even more impossible. First hand - not just one but two positions don't have a clue it's low hand wins. One position sits out start to finish. One position is the ever loving vacuum that calls virtually every single hand and gets cards way better than average.
OK let's do a count 2 playing high, 1 sitter, 1 vacuum, me. Adjust for solar storms, carry the three, divide by Pi...square root...apply Coulomb's law on magnetic attraction...check if Schroedcinger's Cat is still alive and we get the result.
One position with apparently random cards and a minutiae of talent intersted in the outcome of the game.
The minutiae man, realizing he looked silly in his Colonial uniform and awkwardly holding his musket died not so valiantly in battle to the vacuum. This is not terribly surprising as a vintage British army from the 1700's armed with vacuums obviously has superior tech.
I've seen this before dozens of times, and it really doesn't help the case of Xenu being wrong and Internet poker being right. The vacuum has the arrogance to sit out and I get the easiest chips ever, the sitter is gone and vacuum magically wakes up.
Unfortunately the best response I have, better than nothing, is to unplug the PC as one last gesture of defiance. At least you don't get the satisfaction of me playing out your riggedy rigged table.
