I really just wanted to go to sleep, but Jarah convinced me to log in to one of the weirdest sit and go games I've ever experienced. So it's time to play "Let's Pretend" and there is a Big Laydown t-shirt, coffee mug and a pirated episode of "Chuck vs. the Beefcake" on the line here.
The set up for this bad movie is a two table sit and go with a meager 2k free money buy in. My opponents. allegedly real people, do some of the strange and wonderful crack smoking playing to make me lose nonsense that pervades Internet poker.
This is the fourth consecutive 18 player game I played on where there was absolutely no chat until the final table. And then these people just can't shut their pie holes with the taunting.
One short stack went didn't go all in, but left himself with 5 chips so he could call the raise and lose. Much later a short stack with less than 200 chips did the same thing. Which at that point was virtually the same thing.
And we've got these weird bets that aren't multiples of the minimum. Personally, when I'm on the action my raising slide bar is limited to multiples of the minimum. I'd appreciate a commentary here so I can learn how to raise 17 on the first hand. And this is the main point of this post. If you are a real person thinking you are playing random cards, why wouldn't you raise all in?
So let's pretend that clueless real people happened to sit at the same game I chose and played illogically. They lost their freeboe 2k and rebought in and played like a jackass or gave up. And the stronger players log in to feed on their weakness. And needless to say I spent most of the game hopelessly short stacked.
Not
Real
People
Playing against AI with an infinite chip stack that doesn't care if it loses, hence the ridiculous raising until the final table when you magically wake up.
For the record...the final table with the mega taunt chat - I finished 2nd. And nobody ackowledged me by my screen name.
