sit outs :[

[danvonnewman]

anyone else experianced really anoying people who blaitantly play on
about 6 tables at once and sit out until 1 before money position then
suddenly come back to go all in?

i can understand why sit out is their if your in a 5 hour multi tourny
but single tourny just encourages this kind of behaviour

Why would free chips be annoying? By the time it gets close to the money surely they've blinded off most of their stack anyway.

surprisingly enough this tactic works brilliantly on party poker stt's, because you start off with only 800 chips and the standard of play is so bad you can almost be sure 2 ppl will be out by the 2nd level of blinds, i've seen loads of people do it and its one of the reasons i stopped playing stt's on that site

There 1 or 2 sites people just sit out untll a few are out, or untill they get a good hand.

I dont see any problem with it myself, you pay your money and take your chances.If someone wants to donate a few chips before actually playing and then come in when the blinds have gone up so be it.

This doesn't really bother me at all either. If i thought itm would give me a better chance of winning i might even do it, but it doesn't really make any sense. Surely the best thing is to play as much as possible while the weakest players are there so you can take as many of their chips as possible. If someone wants to sit out and leave the fish to be caught by someone else then so be it, be my guest! And i agree with Prowler about PartyPoker, i ust started playing there and the tournaments i have played have been the weakest i've ever seen - it seems like easy money to me.
