I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I have an addiction. To be perfectly honest, though, I have several addictions: freedom, big guns, really loud, fast music, alcohol... and poker. I love poker. It's my dream to have a seat at the World Series Of Poker and, to that end, I've been playing in Freeroll tournaments for the last month... 10 hours a day... and guess what, gang? I'm pissed off!
What pisses me off about these tournaments is a certain kind of player: The Bingo. For the unenlightened, The Bingo is a player who will go all in no matter what his cards are: King/Four is just fine for The Bingo, as long as he catches a break on the flop, turn or river.
Now here's the sore spot: what the hell are these idiots thinking? Let's say that, somehow, The Bingo wins a seat at the WSOP. So there he is, TV coverage, seat with the best, big pile of chips... and then the moron is gonna go all in with a Queen Three on the first hand? Evidently, stupidity has no shame.
These guys ruin a tournament for people who actually know how to play Poker. They skew the odds and discourage smart play. Okay, for those of you who'll say "It's entirely legal to do that!," I'm gonna say it's also totally legal to play touch football on the freeway at night, but you ain't doing the sport any good...
I promise to get into more serious subjects later, but I just had to vent on this one. Now, back to the Bingofest!
