MAKE THE AWAYS PAY......
Hi all players. I've been playing online poker now since mid May. In that time i've seen and suffered a few BAD BEATS, won a $ or two, hit TWO ROYAL FLUSH HEARTS in one day and been called a FISH and other choice names many a time. All of this I can quite easily take in my strid. Well maybe not the ROYALS. They got me quite excited. The thing that I can't take and annoys me more than anything are the 'AWAYS' or 'SITOUTS' in the multi table tournaments.
When I first started playing online I asked someone why they did this and was told that ' IT WAS A WAY OF CHEATING' This I can't see as you can be sat at your seat and still fold every hand and play the MONSTERS. But damn are they annoying.
The other night I was sat in a FREEROLL with 8000+ players at one of the larger online POKER ROOMS and had nine 'AWAYS' at my table. Now some of you are thinking its an easy way to build your STACK and I agree in a sense but I hate it. Yes I was picking up 75/100/150 chips per round but what a waste of those AA KK AK etc
To make matters worse the TOURNEY leader had amassed some 67000 CHIPS to my measly 6500 and I hadn't seen a RIVER, TURN or even a FLOP for at least 30 mins.
I understand people do have valid reasons for not attending, but that is probably ony 2% of the population 5% of the time. Maybe even less.
If the PITBOSS' were to impose a penalty scheme, say DOUBLE BLINDS after three hands 'AWAY' or 'SITTING OUT'they may be less inclined to do so. And one things for sure, the TOURNEYS wouldn't take as long and I myself would be less annoyed and less prone to TILT
Let me know what you think guys n girls.

I agree sit outs suck, but they are apart of the game. I will sit out sometimes but I feel I can justify mine, such as the last 10 minutes of a rebuy when you have a fair stack...those ppl trying to double up will go all in with nothing. I suffered a few bad beats that way and started to adjust to the tournament type I'm playing at the time. |
