Computer Asplode
This post will be mostly content-free, as usual.
Played in the special Saturdays With Dr. Pauly event. Fun as always, nothing like a little four card bingo. Ran up a huge stack but ended up in fourth after making one lousy mistake, messing with Dr. Chako when he was on a heater. Oh, well.
I put my computer to the test by also playing several tables of "cash" PLO on Full Tilt and playing music via Youtube while the tournament was going on. There were times I thought I was running a first gen IBM PC, but I made it through without a major crash. Lucky. Some day I really need to get a new 'puter. And real internet service while I'm at it.
I'm starting to jones for a little live action. I don't know if I can scrounge up a charity room sized buyin at the moment, so I may have to make some discreet inquiries about nickel-dime-quarter level home games.
Speaking of charity rooms, I see that the Charitable Gaming division nixed some of the ideas that the Holland Poker Zone had to spice up the games - paying for quads, high hands and a bad beat jackpot. While I'm not a big fan of an extra drop to fund that stuff, it does juice the action a bit. Too bad.
I half expect that they're going to drop the hammer on the whole charity poker thing any day now. Nothing to base that on ... just a suspicion that the jokers that control such things won't be able to resist the temptation to deprive people of honest fun.
