A Poker Fem-Bot Goes Silver!!

It has recently come to my attention that Alchemist (sometimes using the guise of Rhonda or Rhondster) has been grinding away at FTP ring games and RB private tourneys with only one goal in mind: Silver Level Iron woMan status on FTP! This is quite an achievement for any player, but her journey to silver has not been without controversy.

There have been rumours that Rhonda is not a "real person" and is really a "poker fem-bot". Many find it hard to believe that anyone could sustain her pace of playing four or five tournaments at a time (sometimes with an additional ring game or two on the side) each and every night of the week. She would spend entire Sunday's playing poker, putting in 12+ shifts. Some have said that she's started running the tables on Sunday morning and had not quit until late Sunday night or early Monday morning. To date, these statements have not been validated. However, this is not proof that Rhonda is poker fem-bot. Brad Booth has has stated in interviews that he used to play up to 16 hours a day in Vegas, so this is not impossible.

Others have argued against this accusation, stating that she's been seen sitting out during some games. They argue that is very odd since a poker fem-bot should not tire and should be able to play indefinitely. Supporters of the poker fem-bot theory do have a simple explanation: her programming may have been crashing and her systems were merely rebooting. When confronted about this, she has always blown off the accusation, stating that she was just "bored" and decided to sit out after registering.

And there are those that claim to have spoken with Rhonda at the poker table, validating the fact that she must be a real person and not just a computer program. She is very quick to say "ty" when other players compliment her on her hands or play. She also says "gg" after taking another player out and at the end of a tournament. Is this the response of a flesh and blood person, or merely canned responses from a program?

Ok. Ok. This is all just a joke. Rhonda (at least as far as I know) is a real, flesh and blood person. She is NOT a poker fem-bot. She just plays like one. Killer poker instincts and very aggressive. Just programmed by nature to be a force at the tables.

So congratulations Rhon on your Silver status!!

I'm proud of you!
