High, Medium, Low - It's all the Same

It's all the same in PokerStars fucked up version of math.

You can sort by buy in. So let's go to the High buy in option just to see how many people are playing. Now that free money chips are an oxymoron since you can buy them with real money. Top buy in 1 million. Goddammit, that's pretty fucking high. So let's drop it down a notch and go to Medium. 2.5 million tops. That's pretty fucking high. And me and my crack team of math experts (me, the dog, a petri dish full of bacteria growing on agar, some planaria flatworms bissected and regenerating and three cardboard tubes from used toilet paper rolls report that this is bigger than 1 million. Let's go to Low since this is in the range of a table i can actually sit at.

10 million buy in? What the fuck?

It's ironic that the biggest, and impossible, buy in is offered on the lowest buy in filter. In the real world of legit programming new software is made and tested before being pushed into a sales position. That's why it takes Diablo 3 forever to make it to the market and why Teddy Ruxpin was such a spectacular technological failure. And why Jurassic Park was so dangerous.

Artificial Intelligence with huge chip stacks has been a staple of PokerStars for ages. Geez, you even have bingo games where supposedly the fun is to go all in for seven hands of Omaha Hi-Lo and get congratulated when you finish on top after playing by rules that essentially require no skill. And now these positions finally have an excuse to justify how they might have had enough chips to play like this. I don't care. I'll just break out the checkbook and buy more free money chips.

The only real defense here - high, medium and low. It refers to the quality of play. Any position that can afford a 10 million buy in is bullshit and is just going to raise irrationally.
