This analogy is FAIL.
It would make sense if you were going into a poker room where you KNOW everyone is at the same skill level, same bankroll, and same end goals. That's not the case with a PO freeroll. Lets take your example and make it a video booth that plays random movies everyday....
That's what you get with a freeroll. Sometimes you get really solid play at a table, then you get moved and BAM ur stuck between GregorSamsa and DrJack, with Rivdee sitting across the table licking his chops knowing that there are two DONKS and a guy (you, for example) who gets way tooooo tilted by the bad play of others just waiting to be had.
What you call "Bingo" Players I call potential easy double-ups.TON is GONE. Blame the Mods. They stopped caring, or at least that's how it looks and feels.

In the beginning God said : "The four dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric second rank tensor equals zero", and at once there was light.

Love you? No, but you are the first person I think of now when I think of FISH. I do LOVE having you at my table though. So ya, in that sense you do come to mind a lot.
I'll give you credit for one thing though... as FISH go, you do pick your spots better then say a DoctorJack, CyrusTvirus, SlipNslide, FancyGirl (et al)..... if you take pleasure from my mentioning you with theses
guys and think it's a badge of honor, well "brother", all I can tell ya is it isn't, and you shouldn't.Last edited by TONelson; 03-29-2014 at 02:39 PM.

I do not disagree with you for the most part, if we are talking live poker (you know, where the cards are actually random and you can seriously look at your odds). But in the world of online "poker" when you get your chips in ahead and in reality you are the underdog how are the donks potential double ups?

I used to believe this. Over time, I've found high percentage hands still Win out more often then not over the long haul. I used to think that bad beats happened to me more often online, but I was ignoring the simple fact that I see a hell of a lot more hands online and thus percentages catch up to me more quickly and seemingly more often. Bingo players don't give a fuck if they lose, don't remember doing so the next time they play, and don't alter their game because of it. We literally have to start thinking the same way if we want to beat them, only.... play that way with better cards. Pick our spots, and know when to give up on a hand. The areas we can best them are in learning where we erred, learning how to read THEM, and picking our spots more carefully. Just remember that even with AA PRE-FLOP you are still only about 85%.
I feel that in the end, smart play wins out over DONK play more often then not..... it just seems as humans we are not wired to remember our successes so easily (for lack of a better term) as our failures, particularly when we feel we did everything right and didn't get the results we wanted.TON is GONE.
