From (Or To) Russia With Love





Not being a racist other than my deep seated hatred of Canadian banana farmers I feel free to post this.

Russians deserve to get cheated as much as the rest of the world, they did their part in WWII and helped make me the paranoid hiding under the covers non-cronfrontational person that I am.

So, as I go looking for a fun and relaxing game of cards I see that on the completely random (sarcasm) site of PokerStars there are randomly named tables on huge waiting list games named "Russia".

Mostly the table names are nonsense like Adulea, Craplist, Geotini and Howda. Yet running at the same time are two tables named Russia.

These are public, not private. Anyone with the stupidity to join the wait list can lose their chips at these. It's not like some Russian poker club got together and decided to play a game with the poker club in the city two miles away.

So let's talk a little math here. Table names are random and there are a stable of names available. The stable includes country names. I haven't seen a table named Mexico, yet. Or Australia. Or Yemen. Or Indonesia.

Yet here are two Russian tables.

Note to self - stock up on Vodka.
