Whats the thoughts of other dym players on this hand please
Hi mate
Just keep an eye on the players and make notes if this happens a lot between same players not collusion to fold there as he might have a very poor hand and doesn't want to double up the shortstack.
If he is a regular and playing a lot of tables he might have autofolded or quickly folded his hand when he saw the action was on him if involved in several other hands or missclicked
Or more likely he like me is struggling with the new tables and if playing several just didn't process all the info.
The one to watch out for is if the big stack is raising the shortie and then folding to an all in for a small amount of chips
ps see the reply I got in the feedback area regarding players being away/sat out as you also posted about that yesterday the player shows up in a slightly darker colour although how you are meant to spot that quickly I have no idea but they are looking into improving it
cheers

As you can see from the hand the big stack has pretty much 8x the amount of short stack in a dym 4 players left yets folds to a raise of 500 ..blanked out players names as don,t want into trouble from sky. i had 3000 chips at time so was safe and as is ussually normal in these the big stack is never folding his bb for that amount at least thats the way it should.as i said at the start this has happened a couple of times with certain players lately
I can't see the stack sizes from that Churchy, but it is not necessarily bad, we just don't know, do we?
I got some abuse last week for folding in similar circumstances, but my hand was 3-3-3-3. How can I ever beat anything with that, all I do is double up Mr Shortie? The rest of the Table won't much approve of that. I have no low hand, & 3-3 for the high, which cannot improve.
Doubling up shorties un-necessarily makes no sense.
If you see what you think are repeated & clear acts of collusion, deffo Report them to CC.
A perfect example to explain situations where a fold could be explained.
Was playing a PLO8 dym yesterday when a very strange thing occured.
On the bubble and the player who has been sat out all game is allin in the sb. I have about 6000 chips and duly limp in utg to help eliminate the player. Flop check check and then the bb starts betting out on the turn. So i duly fold and he turns over a complete bluff and trebled up the shortie. My hand would have won and ended the game but he pushed me out.
So i then decided to target the player in question and kept asking for his stack preflop every hand. Got him down to slightly over 1bb when the shorty eventually busted. Didnt quite work out but would love to have busted him after his amazingly silly play earlier.
If youre a sharkscope member you can search to see if the two play together regularly and if their roi is increased when they do.
cheers teddy not a member of scope only play for fun
Well I see your point, & yes, we can all get a little cross when Mr Big Stack sits out, but no, it's not in ANY way disrespectful, imo. Other players cannot expect me, or anyone else, to bear a responsibility for them, we are all playing with, & for, our own money.
I often pass almost every hand - effectively, but not quite the same as sitting out - even when I'm mid-stack, as I'd prefer Mr 5 Bigs Who Limps in Every Hand to perish of his own volition.
I certainly don't agree it's disrespectful. Poker is not a team game, though in DYM's, of course, it can often seem that way when 4 handed, with a shortie.
Anyway, welcome to Sky Poker. How are you enjoying it - or not - so far? Is this your first poker site, or have you played elsewhere previously? If so, what made you decide to try Sky Poker?
Feel free to ignore my questions, I'm just curious. Some say very curious......
Have a great weekend bud.
Thought that name was the cry of many a live poker player when the sit on a new table and look to see who is on their left. Yoyo whyyyyyyyyyy
