OK boys & girls & once again to all the nay sayers the previous post is mine. just completed the monthly quest in 16 of 31 days . started with 14.7B , got beat up by people described by you as bots (who are not) & came out at 5.7B. advanced to the M status in the interim, kept it alive til the end of the quest, got beat by players who bet on threes, people gettin' gut str8s on the river & gettin' river flushes. Came out on the big end with 24B. (pretty much doubled up). joker in last months quest got me 9/10 on an upper album, this months joker made it full & added another 2 or 3 B more. In the long run, if these people are bots, how is it that I can figure out what they're doin' & take their chips? Tip #1 at this point, learn to FOLD. You are all sayin' the same thing, you are smart enough to see the program thats happening to you, react accordingly. Pocket aces are not the holy grail /automatic winner. If you flop the third one but the flop is all suited or a potential str8, FOLD. The next hand is 10 seconds away & if thats whats your lookin' at, 8 other players at the table somebodys gonna have that str8 or flush. Flop a flush with a pair on the board, chances are ur gonna get beat by a boat. Play defense. Once again just my 2cnts. Been here a few years , still winnin'.
