Sitting Out/Leaving a game........Your thoughts please

(1/4) > >>

Santino67:
Firstly I"m gonna say I"ve been on the end of a few sore ones when someone at your table appears to deliberately sit-out in the hope of either winning a satty seat, making the money or laddering. Last night I walked away from a game for the first time ever and have mixed feelings about it.

I worked till 10pm last night, got home with Anne & Cammy already in bed so fired up the PC and started a couple of low buy-in games to spend a bit of leisure time & enjoy a game.

One of these was a $1 MTT on Stars that started at 10.45pm. I thoroghly enjoyed the game and tend to treat these just as I would a bigger buy-in game. At 4.30am we were down to 6 players, I was 3rd in chips with over 600k ( approx 40 BBs) and brain dead due to work and an interview earlier that morning. I tried to get the others to consider a deal so I could sleep but only 2 opponents were willing despite the fact there weren"t large amounts of money involved (6th got $40 and winner got $180, $570 left in total). I ended up giving up and switched off my PC, simply because I was so so tired. I obviously blinded out and finished 4th.

Thoughts/Comments?

AMRN:
nothing wrong with that at all. If I"m at the business end of a tourney, and someone chooses to sit out, I just take advantage and try to pick up their dead blinds.. also it"s one less person to bust me.

teaulc:
nowt wrong at all, you pays your monies you do what you like.
think we have all been in a similar position at some stage.

MintTrav:
Do what you like. We"ve all seen many players sitting out. I satellited into something before but got stuck at work and missed the whole thing. When I got home I found I had cashed for $145.

Swinebag:
Just go all in every hand. You may suck out big style and send the whole table on tilt. That will teach them for not dealing!
