It appears that GD put a penalty on my account that makes it very difficult to win hands.

When I am stuck on a table with a player that is betting wildly, they will always win on the river despite the odds.

Anyway, I've been experimenting with different techniques to break the penalty.

The best technique I've come up with is: DON'T PLAY.

In my current experiment. I will log out of Gamedesire and not come back for six months. I like playing the Halloween Tournament. I might actually wait for Halloween. Please check this blog in six months (or after halloween) to find out how my experiment works.

If GD fails between now and when I log back in. Well. It is no loss to the world.

I noticed that GD is so poorly managed that they don't have enough players to play regular monthly tournaments. I would not be surprised if the company fails.

The one and only one thing a poker hosts needs to do is to deal honest hands. A company that cannot do that deserves to fail.

When the dishonest GameDesire system decides that you will lose. You will lose.

GD appears to be on the brink of failure. They only had 500 players for their New Year's Tournament.

Every time I play the GD system I leave feeling sick because the hands are so obviously contrived. GD would have tens of thousands of players if they just dealt honest hands.

Personally, I won't log into GD for the next couple of months. If someone reads this message. I just want to re-iterate. The dishonesty of this firm is what is killing it.

I placed in the Snowman Championship which brings my points total to 962. I need to complete 8 games to get the 100 Game Tourney Maniac for the month. That will bring me to 982 points, meaning I only need 18 points to achieve the Lord level.

I have a collection of Tumblr galleries with fantastic pictures of the Mountain West. The galleries are:
