i have sat at many tables. stared in the eyes of many men & women, and beet them at thier own game. i have counted chip stack afer chip stack, and shook the hand of many casino boss's. but this online thing.......
i have seen the worst hands in poker win.....time and time again. hands that had no place being in the pot and connetors made in heaven. AA taken with a 2-9 offS. not to mention the A hard-on that all online players have. A- anything is like gold here...and fine, the cards will fall where they may, but the skill is gone in "online poker". i truely believe that it is "bingo poker". i will say, however, that it does take skill to get through all the "donkeys"!!! i believe there is skill in that. i do find, that the lvl of player does increase as you get in middle and final stages of tournaments.However, the system still plays the same. im not sure who write these programs, but man....... like i said "connetors made in heaven"
the sad truth is.....now this "bingo poker" mentality is finding its way into casino's. which works out great sometimes, for us old timers........ but it is takeing the skill out of the poker room as well. poker will not be the same in another 10 yrs from now........... this i am sure of
see you at the tables!!
