What Are the Poker Pros Doing?

Playing free money games.

Here's a table with two Bronze Star positions from the United States of Kiss My Ass (Joe Mantegna movie line). So if you're new to this blog let me splain (real word) to you why this is bogus.

Just like a video game where you level up and get rewarded, after much good play and hard work and dedication you can get a Bronze Star. And if you are really obsessed there are better stars out there. Silver, Gold, Chrome, Jarah and Cadmium. In addition to the time and skill requirement there is just one tiny little flaw in the system that PokerStars hasn't spent the time and money to reprogram and fix. You have to play for real money.

If you are interested in Internet poker and you play on a regular basis you must have been hiding in a cave with Osama Bin Laden and Obama Sin Biden to not know that it's been many years since the US Justice Dept. locked down real money play by US players.

Just like the Olympic flag avatar madness the reality is that artificial intelligence churning out millions of bogus hands doesn't have the ability to pick an avatar that makes any sense. It's just assigned. If I were a poker pro from the US that spent all that time to get a star I'd be bored out of my skull playing free money games. Especially a bizarre variation like PokerStars 50-50 option.
