It is not unfair play.
No player has to play a hand at any point.

That's a tried and tested strategy for DYM's. Just sit there and fold fold fold fold fold unless you get AA/KK, until the money.

It's also why I hate them. Most boring games in the world.

whilst these people can sit out if they wish, i do think it changes the dynamic of the dym, and is to the advantage of the person sat to the left of a sat out player.

Eagle - you can't force anyone to play a hand I'm afraid, & nor should you want to.

If he made the money without playing a single hand, the 3 who went out first must have really mangled it.

dont play them, but if you can make money long term doing this it sounds like a great strategy to me

Very rare someone cashes in a DYM without playing a single hand.

I have seen it happen, but usually at micro stakes.

You need to play ultra tight early on in these, if three others get knocked out in the meantime, it's just a bonus.

I would wager I play less than 20% of all starting hands in these games early doors. (unless I am BB with no raises)

One of the most succesful players on the site at these games only ever plays monsters.

Bubble time, and it can be a lottery, especially when the blinds hit 200/400+.

Agree with Mere, Tikay 7 Others on this one. This is not an unfair thing to do. If 3 people managed o get knocked out before the blinds affected this guy too much then that's their bad play, not this guy who hasn't done anything. i know a lot of people who will sit out until bubble and then raise every unopened pot. It's a recognised and reasonable stratagey. This guy just got lucky that he didn't even need to get involved on the bubble
