The Clueless Turbo Guts Players



PokerStars did make a small mistake yesterday. After nuking my 3 million chip stack months ago and starting over with 2000 it's taken me awhile to get enough to be allowed to sit at a 100/200 Omaha Hi-Lo table. And the fun stuff that doesn't make sense still exists.

Operation Delay of Game is exemplified by waiting at an empty table and when the first player joins and declares whatever non-poker version of the game it is, you reserve a seat. But you don't sit at it. After a period of time you cancel and reserve another seat. It looks like it doesn't matter if it was the same seat you last reserved or another empty one. Repeat this endlessly until someone finally snatches the last seat.

These other players at the table are completely clueless to the fact that their precious non-poker game is being delayed. Eight people (I don't count because I'm a real person and have no intention of actually sitting) and the best they can do is a couple of hellos and Carlos5555 mentioning that a new table was ready? All I can say is that Carlos5555 must be the suckiest host ever if he can't muster up a table starting in the time I was there. I started reserving at 6:39. At 6:48 the last seat was finally filled. At 6:55 the game still hadn't started and not a peep from anyone about the delay. Because AI isn't programmed to complain about delays.
