I’m So Over the Weirdness

Posted on January 17, 2009 by under Poker.    

This is a bit of a whiny post so if you didn’t feel like reading any whining today, feel free to skip this one.

I was kind of enjoying the weirdness there for a while. However, I fell victim to the weirdness last night. It’s not so great being on that end of it. I think the weirdness has hit its peak, though. It’s safe to say that, at this point, the clueless people far outnumber the people who make sense.

One of the most annoying things is having to play with someone who has no idea when it is their turn to be in the blinds and has no desire to understand this concept. I mean, come on. I’ve seen you playing here for several weeks now and you’re not drunk. How can you still not get it? And, it’s specially grating to me when just the other week I explained to you that you get to be small blind after being the big blind. Don’t ask the table if you are small blind every single time. Just freakin’ post it already.

Oh, and it is very annoying when blinds go up every three hands because every hand takes five minutes to complete. Common people. This is not rocket science. It shouldn’t take more than a second to figure out that you are supposed to fold 9 2 off suit. Regardless if someone raised or not. What are you still thinking about?

Oh, and most annoying of all are those people who have no clue what good hands look like and call someone’s $15,500 all-in with K 4 off. Come on, get a clue. That is just stupid. How can you get mad, though? Well, Brian can in these situations. I don’t think it’s appropriate to get mad, though. I mean, you don’t get mad at a baby when it does something bad or wakes you up five times in the middle of the night. You just deal with it. It doesn’t know any better. It doesn’t know that you have to be up at 6 am so you can get ready and go to work the next day. These people are just clueless. They are like babies. They don’t know any better. I can’t get mad at them for doing the wrong thing. All I can do is whine about it afterward.

Needless to say, my quest for the fourth final table in a row got thwarted by stupidity. I made the right choices and I had some luck on my side last night. My luck just got overran with clueless-ness and eventually ran out.

I realized last night that I can play with novices, but I cannot play with completely clueless people. Unfortunately, that’s all I’m running into these days in BCPT. It really makes me want to try Kandu. Then, again, from hearing Scott talk about it ~ there are a lot of clueless people playing Kandu as well. You just can’t get away from them. Maybe I just need to lay off poker for a while.
