Poker Sharknado



There's a movie that we love here at The Big Laydown. Sharknado. Why do we love it? Mindless escapism. Sharks getting sucked up into a tornado and getting tossed into people. The sharks magically just happen to have their mouths open when they land on a human. Don't think about science. That will just ruin the joyride. The phrase "a fish out of water" doesn't apply.

So I get a new dog and take a little bit of a vacation from PokerFrauds and what do I get? The 200k minimum buy in tables. Obviously filled with poker sharks not content to play for paltry stakes with blinds of 100/200. These sharks play with 2500/5000 blinds.

Considering that multiple tables are filled with these "people" it just shows that PokerFrauds doesn't care about the math.

Math and science are our friends. Me and my crack team of mathematicians (me and the dog) are puzzling on how a free money table can be filled with players that must have megamillions of chips. Oh, they must be megalodons like in that other classic shark movie Jurassic Shark. Thawed out from an ancient glacier and creating havoc in a fresh water lake. Well that science doesn't work. Maybe if it was set in the future you could explain it away with a mutation that sharks could breathe outside of a warm oceany venue.

Maybe if these tables were empty it could explain the math. It's just another poorly thought out idea that has AI playing against AI.
