Heads Up NL Poker Forums

OMG Game selection is one thing but clogging the tables, sitting out constantly, etc. etc. Grow at least a 2cm pair already. Dozens of tables with 1 player sitting and it can take over 5 minutes to start a match. It is pathetic.

Sorry for ranting...well not that sorry. Does anyone else feel this way or am i overreacting?

i couldn't agree with you more. stars 50NL HU has a bunch of regs that are sitting out constantly. u sit and they sit out and then tell you to leave the table. its fkn ridiculous

frustrating as it maybe there is logic behind it. bumhunting is a viable way to make money at poker or should i say increasing your winrate.

God I hate those idiots! Why sit it 5 tables if you're not playing!

Honestly, there should be a rule against this!

As I said Goose, a logic does exist. Game selection is important to winning at poker. However, the tactics employed with these people at the HU tables or with short stackers are deplorable and over-the-top. They decrease the quality of games and have an overall net effect of decreasing the number of fish playing the games. If they sit out for more than 5 minutes at a time or sit down for less than a predetermined number of hands before sitting out again, they should be bumped from the table along with their "stack." Then the onus is on them to scramble to play as opposed to the people who are actually WILLING to play.

I stand by my assertion that many of these individuals are pathetic losers. My main problem with internet poker is that I cannot tell them the same to their faces, which I would happily do.
