A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

DH Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
If you don't know what it is, it's a shitty poker app on the app store. They are very generous with how many chips they give you whether it is for free or paying $1 or $2. We're talking millions of chips, including bonuses like they have a wheel you can spin with tokens and have rewards.
The problem with it, is that it is filled to the brim with scammers. I'm not generalizing here, but a lot of them are foreign scammers, along with bots who join up tables even including upper stakes ones. They usually will go All-In almost all of the time and will somehow beat your hand with a petty two pair. Now the scammers are people who could be at any table and they'll spam messages about trying to reach out to them through WhatsApp or somewhere else. They'll want real money in exchange for giving you trillions of chips, its obvious that it is a scam but it doesn't lessen the nuisance factor on top of the bullshit rigging.
So, this game is very devious to get into and is a clear example of gambling in a nutshell. I forgot how much money I threw down into the game.
