The gang went out for lunch today at the Framers Market which has the smoking hot non-Asian vitamin selling girl that has captured my fancy. Personally, I think vitamins are way overrated. They only serve to keep you alive longer to get cheated at Internet poker.
The conversation switched to "Elyk Nosobh" and his competitive nature. (His real name is Kyle Hobson, but to protect him I have changed it here. No one but me will EVER know.)
Elyk, not his real name, related on how he was so competitive that while running to keep in shape he times himself trying to beat his best record.
Supposedly, from what I was last told when my Uncle took me for $4.23 of my hard earned newspaper route money that Internet poker is a competitive game. It's a level playing field with your brain and a little bit of luck versus a table (or two) against some other brains.
The zombie apocalypse has not eaten my brain yet, although the shotgun shells are running dangerously low. And Bruce Campbell hasn't returned a single phone call this week.
So I said to myself, "Self, clean the bathroom and reflect on all those things about Internet poker that show a lack of competition." After lunch I offered up to Kyle...er...this guy I know...the "I have to go" not sitting out because they really aren't serious about leaving. My zombie munched brain remembered one of the real raisans. (That should have been reasons, but zombies-brain tissue damage-I'm sure you understand.)
Now, with my brain at less than 30% capacity I still managed to dredge up something I vaguely remember from before. Zombies are slow. They don't race. OMFG! The race table!
I can duplicate this every day without losing a single rigged hand. Sure there's way too many chips on this table. The real key is that there's a huge waiting list of players so anxious to lose to the players alrerady seated.
Omaha Hi Lo is weird enough that your average poker junkie playing on free money games isn't going to have enough chips for the 40k buy in or want to put up with the all in bingo bullshit. So the AI just keeps get to chugging along despite the two year old chat. Which they probably cater to so that they don't get bored going all in every hand and get to pretend they have some skill. Court them and they might actually break open the checkbook.

One thing I can confidently say other than that Scientology sucks - there is no competitive spirit. The play is dictated by those admins and AI that have the comfort zone of knowing they can't or don't care if they lose because of an infinite rigged chipstack.
