ok, i have figured some things out about internet poker.
they have these 'spin and go' tourneys where there is only 3 folks at the table and you get a short stack and it accelerates rapidly and the base prize is only 2/3 of the total buyin. so where does the other 1/3 go? it goes to the vanna white wheel of fortune part where they spin the dial but it is really just a rigged random number generator that usually lands on 2/3 the total buyin but sometimes might hit a 'brand new car'. i always like the suspense of the spinning wheel thing, and also i liked vanna white, it is not my fault you shed your top for playboy before they quit showing nudes honey, thanks.
anyways, these tourneys are soft and usually one jerkwad will suicide early and the other jerkwad can be pushed around like a slow kid on the short bus. so i have used these to take my stake into the solid 6 figures in a matter of a couple hours. and then used that to play the 5k play money buyin multi-tourneys which are almost as soft as the 1k multi-tourneys. now i am doing the scrooge mcduck thing with lots of free play money chips.
but i haven't won a brand new car, yet.
