There ought to be a law with some of these bad undisciplined people in general, and bad poker player people in particular. I am deadly serious this time. If you listen to these so-called experts on their advice that bad players make for easy money, you have not been watching or playing very much. Even when the main event has the blessing of prime time television, it is usually rewarded with; you guessed it, a bunch of bad beats and ridiculous play usually rewarded in a prime time come from behind victory. Starting to become fairly common to see a bad player call a raise, get baited to continue -when the odds call for him/her to fold- continue coming with a piece of hand, to a wondrous conclusion of successive glorious cards to win the pot, survive the headlock that had certain catastrophe written all over it. Not only that, but, usually in the process of walking into the lions' den with a t-bone steak suit on, against all odds, knocking out in the interim a more deserving opponent, and finally adding more chips to his/her ever increasing stack. Yeah, I am steaming; somebody needs to incorporate a way to identify these culprits. Perhaps, we can begin a national commission that over sees all games played in the U.S. $40-$80 and under. Formulate over a course of a prescribed date all the players' data for the designated games, and fed into a main computer frame. Once a player's score is tabulated, a number designating them a bad player, is assigned. Similar to the jersey's worn in professional sports, a player must compete as an international bad player, identified by the appointed jersey and insignia: B.P.O.A. Depending on how many of these bad players that are determined by the commission, the numbers on the back of the jerseys could be a...skies the limit!
Oh, what is B.P.O.A., Bad players of America! So why have I devoted so much time and energy to expound on bad players? The answer is simple: they are taking over, man! Bad players, real bad drivers, bad attitudes, bad understanding, bad work ethic, bad products, bad acting, bad chemistry, bad marriages, bad karma, bad management, and finally bad luck. For all intent and purposes, these bad players are for the most part, inexhaustibly lucky individuals, as you will see repeatedly a bad player make a bad decision, come out smelling like a rose. Just once, can we see the coyote catch the roadrunner? What is the chance of Mr. Magoo getting an assortment of moving violation tickets? Pick any game; stand by it for any length of time.
Ok, some bad player just won a big pot, right. Here is the deal though. Chips won makes that player even more powerful, so bad players chips won, does not necessarily mean that he will give them back. It usually means he will win some more; especially the back breaking hands, everybody to the last card, three players all in, a miracle needed, Bam! Wow, "what a card he/she will exclaim" Then while he/she is stacking this monstrosity of a pot, you are certain to hear those famous words: "The pot got too big, I had to stay" Yeah, but now I got to GO, get away from these Bad players of America, inc.
