Celebrity Poker is pretty pathetic, isnt it?

It's good when they have someone entertaining on, like Penn Jillette. I don't watch for the poker and avoid the episodes with no one interesting.

1) They offer you free money to come and gamble. This means, they must expect you to lose an amount at least equal to the deposit bonus. Does your local B&M casino give out these kinds of comps?

They expect to make back the money in rake, and rake doesn't care who wins, only that you play. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Free money helps generate rake, as do redeposits.

B&Ms have other, often better comps. Free room, meals and drinks at the Mirage vs. $100-max reload bonus? Hmmm...

2) Too many good starting hands in tournaments.
3) Players making ridiculous calls and playing hands only a complete moron would make and winning.
4) "Luring" hands dealt at key times during a tournament which are designed to bust you out of the money. These are big pairs against lone blind stealers, BB huge flops which get outdrawn, and hands that normally too tempting good to fold and end up getting beat.

You need to get PokerTracker and actually check this. I think over >10,000 hands you'll find your perception differs distinctly from reality.

Unless you think that PokerTracker is in on the conspiracy, that is. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Tigther players, like me, who do well at the B&M against the friday night drunks, are going to be outplayed on the internet against "real" players. The loose retards who play for fun at the casino on the weekdays just arent smart enough or motivated to get an online account and play.
