It was pretty productive for us here at the Big Laydown. But let me start with the down side. Too late I discovered that old posts were being deleted automatically because of lack of space. I enjoy a pretty, naked Asian girl as much as any guy, but the practice had to be discontinued.
Now the plus side. And we'll start out with the most current thing going on that these pictures address. It's obvious that the basic premise of no limit Omaha hi-lo on PokerStars is to be a haven for AI to crank out hand after hand after hand. Nobody with any real skill would subject themselves to the two year old chatter and the bizarre variations that are dictated by the player lucky enough to be first at the table.
I started off stealing these tables because I got a reaction that it bothered them. Now I find it much more amusing to let the two year olds get the table and see it instantly declared. It's usually all in or fold, but we still have RAGE and Turbo Gutz. (Always with a 'z.' You're not cool if it's with an 's' and not in caps lock.) There's even been twice out of hundreds of table openings that it was declared 'normal play.' Somebody was having a bad night.
Many of the tables with no players available for whichever stupid variation are freshly created. But there are also those discarded used tables from the previous game. 90% of the time the first new player wipes out the previous chat by posting something like:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is stupid in and of itself. By no means does the previous chat affect the upcoming game. And yet, even on a brand new table this happens every once in a while. Are people really that stupid that they log into a table and wipe out non-existent chat? Doubtful. It's an AI kind of thing.
Next, I've posted lots of screenshots where someone bets something like $42,400 and leaves $200 chips behind. This is not normal human nature. It's far easier to go all in than calculate out a bet that leaves a pointless not life altering $200 behind.
Operation Wait List was very enjoyable for me. The only reason it's been put on hold is because Operation Chat Wipe has occupied most of my time. The wait list is maxed out at 32 players. And for some reason certain tables are so cool that everyone wants a piece of the action. And they're willing to wait more than an hour, or eve two, to get their chance. The new player at the table showing "Sit Out" on their avatar is just a happy bonus.
Bogus chat was fun and I really enjoyed observing and recording the bizarre conversations. Sadly it looks like HotelforDogs has retired and we won't get to see her bragging about being able to clean the house, give the dog a bath, cook dinner AND simultaneously play poker. I'm also particularly fond of the conversation that segued from significant others in jail to being angry at the significant other who would not be allowed back in the house. Within a couple of minutes. Make up your mind. Is he in jail or did he just smack you around and leave the house in a huff? And no conversation about bogus chat can leave out 1TOAST. There cannot possibly be any real entertainment value in posting "ED" every time you win a hand. On this New Year's Eve I'd like to propose a toast to you Ed. May your party treats not be too toasted.

No big shocker here on what the number one story of the year is.
M1sspiggy.
The 90 billionth hand milestone campaign was not very well thought out in general. Each of the 300 milestone hands was dealt on an exact multiple of one million. Considering the brisk trade in AIOF and other free money games this is statistically impossible. Add to this that all of them had at least one position not going all in and observer chat opens up slamming them for being donks makes you look like a broken record. Since I was looking at that repetition I managed to see m1sspiggy win a milestone hand before the 90 billionth. And then I see the p1gme1ster wins the 90 billionth hand, too. In my more than 15 years of poker investigation I have never seen an incidence of mathematical impossibility that approaches this.
