Does anyone here play internet poker?

[Kroenen]

I just came across this gem at PokerStars.

The story:
This was the 10 billionth hand in the site's history and every single one of the players at that table was guaranteed at least $10,000 (and they were playing 0.01/0.02 poker). The winner of this hand would get $100,000. Two of the players, XtedForrestX and imwooke, decides that it's not worth risking those $2 to have a shot at the $100.000 prize, so they fold before the flop. Absolutely priceless! It makes my stomach turn.

From the chat:
XTedForrestX said, "jfdklsa'sfjsd"
XTedForrestX said, "wow"
XTedForrestX said, "yeah baby"
The_Moog said, "my buttons are gone"
The_Moog said, "all in"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Welcome to the biggest hand of 1 cent 2 cent ever"
justine0003 said, "how much do we win!!"
HostJeff [observer] said, "Moog -- the hand has not started yet"
The_Moog said, "thanks"
HostJeff [observer] said, "We're letting the suspense build. Stay in
your seat."
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Do each of you understand you have just won at least $10,000"
Ferius said, "can me make a deal?"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "It took 5 years 8 months to get to this hand."
The_Moog said, "i had that feeling"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Welcome to the 10 Billionth hand. From everyone at PokerStars we thank you for making this possible."
XTedForrestX said, "yes make a deal"
XTedForrestX said, "lets chop it up"
justine0003 said, "ya lets do it"
XTedForrestX said, "i agree"
The_Moog said, "aGREE"
Rechargeable said, "Yes, if that is possible"
Ferius said, "chop it"
XTedForrestX said, "shyt load of money for us"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "All 6 of you will win at least $10,000 + a WCOOP Main Event ticket"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "No deals are possible"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Winner of this hand will win at least $100,000."
The_Moog said, "cool, i have a good hand to win "
XTedForrestX said, "i seriously have AKs, but don't think it's worth to risk it"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Do you have any questions?"
The_Moog said, "lets do it before i get a disconnect"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "All 6 ready?"
XTedForrestX said, "where's the support?"
justine0003 said, "is this real"
justine0003 said, "and how do we get our money"
XTedForrestX said, "support"
XTedForrestX said, "help"
Ferius said, "lets go"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Yes this is the 10 Billionth hand Congratulations!!!"
HostJeff [observer] said, "Ted, Scotty *is* support -- he just has
green chat, not red. I'll let him handle this -- I'm just watching."
MktgScottY [observer] said, "The money will be added to your account within 10 minutes."
XTedForrestX said, "can we chop?"
XTedForrestX said, "please"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "No, the winning hand will win the $100,000"
justine0003 said, "and everyone else?"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "$10,000+ to the other 5 players"
XTedForrestX said, "can't we chop, and leave a certain amoutn to winner?"
XTedForrestX said, "not 100k"
XTedForrestX said, "little nutss"
HostJeff [observer] said, "Ted, no, deals are not permitted here."
Ferius said, "i want that"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Let the best hand win"
The_Moog said, "gl table"
MktgScottY [observer] said, "Here we go"

I play online, or did prior to the new leg., and this doesn't surprise me one bit.

Damn... I wish this was on FTP and Saturday. Though, I was playing a little higher than 0.01/0.02. And, I wish I had this hand:



My first one and the cool/crazy thing is that 33 is my favorite number (note Hand #).
