I always am wondering why there are so many silly, easy to catch, typos in this "cats" stuff. Of course, a smart AI might do something like that to look human? For example, the first highlighted text in this "article" repeats the word (one) twice. Ray, are you real man? Ray, are you too busy for a quick proofread? Ray, what about having your "wife" take a look before publishing? Ray, what should I think? Ray... common man!
I am human enough who would appreciate a little bit more respectful tone than being called a "cat" (by the way, you missed an apostrophe there :) ).
Anyway, here are a few explanations that my readers know; apparently, you are not one of them, only a disruptor.
There are often typos in the e-mailed version, but those are often corrected in the real text shortly (which was the case in the error you discovered).
There is no way to prove if I am real or not. AI has been compiling deepfakes on everyone for at least eight years, and even a phone conversation or a Zoom meeting with me could be an AI.
The typos are common, because I am a rapid reader, and my brain corrects them without me noticing. I manage to correct most of them them after about 24 hours, but there are a few minors one usually left until I include a link to a previous article and I proofread it again. I usually leave factual errors in my work even after corrected, indicating that I am not omniscient; only human.
I also receive help from a reader with typos, but she cannot do everything, and proofreading is not one of my wife's strengths.
Poker is a game of information and probability. Especially Texas Hold'em.
There is information everyone has - the face up cards. There is information you are forced to give - your bets. And there is information others give - their bets.
You can give false information, but that has a cost which is proportional to your probability to win, others' probabilities to win, and the discrepancy between the information you falsify and the truth.
You have odds based on the cards on the table. Odds based on the bet you have to make versus the pot. Odds based on how many people are still in the game. And the information comes out in pieces. While these odds change. So you can change what people think their odds are by lying about what you have through your bets by either over betting or under betting. But if other players call you on your lies with better held assets you end up paying, literally.
If you bluff and lose you expose your bluff because you pretended you had cards you didn't. And if you under bet to keep others staying in and collect a bigger pot, you risk them making an outlandish hand on turning over more face cards (flop, turn, or river).
So you can play straight and avoid lying or passing false information. But then people eventually understand you are playing straight and can predict your cards based on your pattern of consistent information.
You bet big on your big hands and people leave the pot. Bet small on your worthless hands and people take your blinds. And people figure you out.
So you have to pepper in lies, but only occasionally.
And that's all without trying to predict other peoples cards based on their peppered lies, feckless truths, or any of the million of combinations found in between.
Poker isn't a game of chance. It's a game of predicting probabilities and lying about them. It's a game of trying to understand patterns and people. It's a game of math and emotions.
Okay, face-up cards correspond with my observation on people falling for non-existent options. Them choosing makes them feel smart, and it divides the observers:
Before I answer in full, my impression is that you are suggesting that it's a game being played against losers (that is, the commoners). Can you elaborate on that, while I'm still responding to your comment, please? It looks like you have insights I could never even dream up! :)
You might have missed the point Ray. One can't "suicide" themself that way. It would be possible to get only one shot off, and it more than likely wouldn't be in the back of the head.

You can do it.

It's cryptography of emotions.
So, is it about betting large enough to matter, but small enough to win?
The latest world-class winners tended to be youngsters who simply max out the bets. Was that also rigged? I would say, it was.

Eh its just a cool comment i added because you brought up poker, no need to look deeper than that.
By the way,

Oh, don't ever put down the lowly .22LR; it has killed more people than any other calibers! :)
Yeah lotta wbistleblowers commiting the ole suicide by shooting themselves three times in the back of their head with their trusty .22.
What's the alternative? Committing suicede by police or by ICE?

Ray it is hard to push like on the dismal reality of the situation. But here we are.
You and I, and maybe a few more who will know what to do, when the time comes without having to do any networking.
