The Ever Popular No All In Bet
As a conservative and highly suspicious person I always ask the guy from the natural gas company for ID. Occasionally I get backed into a corner where there is no ID, but I just know that when I light up that cigarette that I will be blown to kingdom come and need to go all in on faith.
The desperate need to go all in is factored into PokerStars betting algorithms. (For any newbiews, we're talking about the hordes of AI that infest this and have always infested poker sites.)
A quick time out - since I can still duplicate this every day. And I will. The insanity of playing slow is still out there. Two different tables where multiple players have to take enough time to hit the 14 second warning. On the same night. Annoying for the sake. And we aren't talking about Japanese adult beverages.
Maybe I'm just frustrated because within a couple of seconds I can make a decision on whether to call or fold. Or maybe since it didn't use to be this way I'm on to something. You decide.
Now, back to the main story. Jarah is keeping the baby. The murder trial is about to start, but the key witness is trying to flee the country. Johnny has pronounced his love for Julia, but he knows that her father doesn't approve of him. Lorissa is...er...
Sorry, that's my Genital Hospital soap opera blog.
OK. Let me guess what's going on here. These are 10k buy in games I've been playing which suggest that there might be some skill involved if you are a real hum. You have something like 865 chips left, i.e. short stacked. You have just called pre-flop. And the only player on the table still active raises you 700 chips. After 17 days, 3 hours and 14 minutes my Mathex 1407z (calculator I bought at the airport) tells me that if I lose I will have 165 chips left. Which since I was already short stacked to begin with is basically meaningless.
The real and human thins to do are either fold or go all in. But time and again I see players that supposedly have some skill based on the buy in doing the weirdest shit.
This includes the kissing cousin of the lack of all in bet - the folding when there was no raise. I guess since "muck" rhymes with "fuck" your mommy will wash your mouth out with soap and you don't want that to happen.
Think about what she'll do to you when you look at pictures of hot Asian chicks on the Internet.
Not
real
people.
