A long two weeks ago I had 700k on PokerStars. I only have 235k left. Obviously I must suck if I can lose that much playing every day on at least 10k buy in tables. But, just with Lockpoker, you don't have to actually play to see something weird. I will admit that this is just in the "suspicious" as opposed to outright bogus category. But I've combined my massive crappy card streak, bad beats, high flops that don't match my 56 suited, low flops that don't match my AK, extremely aggressive betting and a personal hand history approaching 700k.
Sporty (can I cal you that?) was one of the chip leaders and with four cards on the creaking four board made a sizable raise on an inside straight draw. My brain screamed at me to fold, but I thought it really can't be this bad. Caught the four for the straight and I slunk in shame into my cardboard box since I lost the house thinking I could earn money at poker.
When I'm met with an obvious mathematical bad beat and I'm gone my typical reaction is to turn off the computer, throw a DVD into the player, start dinner and get ready to sleep for the night. Since this sitter finished so soon my split personality of Dr. Fill showed up.
Dr. Fill is notorious for calling hands that shouldn't be called. Like the AK of diamonds I folded instantly on this table. Internet poker is pretty sad when you are sure that this hand will lose and you're right. So Dr. Fill and his crack team of psychonalysts (Fill, my helper monkey and the ghost of my dead dog) did something different.
I observed the table hoping for some "player" commentary about my defeat. It didn't happen. Instead the chat became silent after a massive opening of semi-illegal non-English insane Spanish and Italian chat.
And Sporty has the arrogance to sit out immediatley after I am gone. It's not like he had the game in the bag. The finally table hadn't been reached yet, the blinds were big and he dropped a lot of money before he woke up.
To me this says - "I don't care about my chip stack. I elimanted the asshole critic. Time for a smoke break."

I miss True Yobbo. Because when I sat at 5 draw lowball I knew he would be there. I find it curious and suspicious that I can play the same 10k 2 table hold'em game for months and never meet against the same player twice. Dr. Fill thinks that everyone else wasting their time on Internet poker also has split personalities, multiple accounts and jet skis on lay-away at Sears.

At least for me PokerStars is currently set on Impossible Mode. Thanks for making it obvious. Get back to me when you want to make the cards random and try and prove your player base knows how to play.
