If you look at the posting history of solucky you will see a similar type of player, though he was a bit better then this blatant guy.
The easy money days are done, and now players need to have a proper poker plan to do anything above casual screw around money, so that creates a lot of frustration with tiny timers like this blatant guy who will never be anything in poker. He probably actually plays more than most shills here, but he will never accomplish anything because his skill set is severely limited and his mental approach to the game is massively -EV.
Guys like him help the poker economy even if they net break-even because they fill tables, and you will find them switching rooms and games all the time as they try very hard to become something in poker. Some eventually go the bitter riggie route, and my biggest complaint with him is that he clogs the thread with his anger when we could have a lot more fun with the genuine paranoid casual players and their wacky theories, instead of a bitter long term nobody.
As I said before, best thing all "shills" can do is ignore him as I have, and concentrate more attention to the fun riggies. Similarly, riggies should all put Wiki on ignore and concentrate more attention on the fun shills. This thread has a whole new fun level (for shills and riggies) if both of them are surgically removed. If we all did that then we can all have more fun with that manslaughter riggie, and the guy who talks about each player analyzing their own data when his data are notes he scrawled on paper 6 years ago. They would have more fun as well, as would the new crop of riggies and shills.
Edit to add: I also would like to see the term "sheeple" used more in this thread, though I have not figure out which side could best use it, as riggies really do use blind faith a lot more than shills.
I agree your comments about me.
I came from gambling and was above average in backgammon. My mainreason
to play poker was only the free money, but i never really loved the game.
Backgammon was pure math no psych and more social. Its a big difference if you play 2 hours heads up and talk or only click a few buttons.
So far noone proofed that the deck is rigged but without any doubt the game itself is rigged by the players.....but it is a bigger problem with
chess and backgammon.
The skill in poker is to find weaker players than yourself like in any game, for myself that had done less to improve his game there is a day where
you have no edge. And without any edge, no interest, and no addiction in the game...its simple waste of time.
Noone is forced to play a game ....
