The Collective Intelligence





This bears worth repeating. This bears worth repeating. For an extended period, Full Tilt presented us with a succession of registration screens that were populated by a single position occupying multiple tables with the same reg stats.

And now magically, And now magically,

OK, if you don't get the point by now, load up your last TV and watch it for 24 hours straight.

Why am I not surprised that this nonsense hasn't continued? Because the collective intelligence - translated to algortithm or program, has finally been changed. Whether because of my pointed argument or natural process of the programmers realizing it wouldn't help their cause, we'll never know.

The Borg infected collective intelligence on PokerStars continues to operate 2 table Hold'Em sit and Go tourneys in the same manner every night. One position blows the dealer and gets ridiculously great cards. Raises them and sooooo many others fall for it and fall like chaff to the wind. Or like shaft to a sexting scandal if Anthony Wiener was playing. And what I've noticed lately is that this enormous dealer blowing vacuum often has to sit out to avoid winning every hand to make it look a little more believable.

In general, the collective intelligence, or lack thereof, on PokerStars does not sit out like crazy, like they have for extended periods in the past. The collective raises the minimum on any medium to low pair automatically. The collective intelligence has decided to not post even the most minimal "nh" and "ty" chat.

Just like the schoolgirls calling each other up and making sure they match what clothes they wear I'm supposed to believe that hundreds of thousands of people went viral on the Internet and communicated that this is the way to play on a poker site.

At least until the next update where the wardrobe change will be communicated.

So, for now I can work on the really important wardrobe issue in life. Does Jarah look hotter with the full frontal view, or the side view? I'm going with the side view.
