YipeeYapee Post about HU
To Glitterbabe, Gerarrd, Sharksbite, BrownnDog and any other regulars, with the exception of Sparce and Kegsy, I am happy to play any of you. I have great respect for Sparce and Kegsy's game and choose not to play them right now at nl holdem, maybe in the future as I improve i will take shots.
Firstly I want to clarify, if I have ever left the table, it is not a personal attack on you, and it is not the end of the world. I simply may need a break, it may be the phone or the door. And I am online everyday, there wil be other times to play me.
Secondly, I don't berate you in the chat throughout sessions, like XXXX did to me today, that is unprofessional and I don't have time for it.
Thirdly, I will play all of you, but when you conspire to play me when I am playing 2 different opponents already and you think I will suddenly play multiple hu tables against multiple opponents, following your discussions, that's like the 'everybody's got it in for yipeeyapee club' it's not cool and it's not going to happen. So don't complain when i sit out at these times.
Once again I'm sorry if I've upset anyone, take it easy J

I will obv play you, I'm always on HU tables so come sit anytime!
I heard some rumours though saying your a 'hit and runner' some of the regs were talking about it, to be honest I don't care about your etiquette to the game the way you conduct yourself on the tables is your choice, everyone is different and has different morals. You can leave a cash game when you want that's the difference between them and normal tables, I for one wouldn't hit and run personally. I'm guessing this is what this thread is all about.
Have i been added to the playable list now?
Hitting and running in Heads Up play is an interesting discussion tbh, most players who play Hu will mostly agree at some point it has annoyed them if they get "runners" its probably one of the only things that annoys me but at the end of the day its everyones choice,and sometimes I do get people just have to go,regardless nobody needs to justify their actions whether someone likes it or not. I really appreciate James comments and he is a player i respect a lot, and is a great Hu player so probably knows more than most the annoyance of a runner lol.

Good luck and best wishes.

The good thing is when they lose they stay!!!
And you get it all bak and more!
I'm going to ask you to consider the facts that you categorically know to be true before you post on this thread; as at the moment it would appear one member who tried to clear the air is receiving a "bashing."
YipeeYapee has tried to make it clear that in his opinion he was not hit and running and I'm afraid none of us can claim otherwise. I truly believe that his original post was intended to wipe the slate clean but perhaps naming players was unwise.
Naturally we do not condone any abusive behaviour in the chatbox and should someone feel that they are being targeted they have every right to complain and we will look into the allegation.
However, this thread has labelled Yipee as a "hit 'n' runner" and then progressed onto whether this practice is morally correct.
As poker players we all have our own views on how long it is "right" to wait before leaving a table - but life can get in the way and sometimes we have to forego that self imposed 'rule'.
At this point I should probably add that should a player choose to "hit 'n' run" there is no rule in poker that prevents them from doing so.
Furthermore, "Table Selection" is a skill that most pros practice and therefore should a player get lucky, but realise that they lack the skill edge to continue it is in their right to leave as soon as they wish.
We also have to be aware that many posts are based on "rumours" so therefore this entire discussion is primarily based on hearsay.
To conclude, Sky Poker is about having fun, playing some cards and hopefully making some pocket money on the side - please keep it that way.
havent played much heads up on here but on the other site i play a lot of heads up and shortstacker/hit and runners are the main source of income.
you cant have it both ways lads
I completely agree with Ling tho that if someone thinks they don't have an edge and are -EV in the game they should leave. Personally I think the thread is pointless though and to me just looked like an attack on the players that he expected to complain about what he had done.
Ok so there has been alot of interest in this, and I want to clarify my original thread was not an attack on any individuals, although my comment about trash talk, kind of is, but whatever there are no rules that diasallow that and many players use it effectively to put other players off their game, so I guess credit to them if it works.
To answer James question, I think you often play higher stakes, I'd consider playing you maybe £.50/1 to get a feel for you if you want, that way I'm risking less. The fact your putting yourself out there to play me, oozes confidence so I'm inevitably some what reserved before I jump into a big game with you.
DantB, I might play you, again if you want to do 50/1 sometimes, i can give it a go. The thing is even if I lose, the best way to learn is to play better players.
hope everyone is well, see you on the tables soon. J
i dont think people were necessarily calling you in particular a hit and runner, they were just commenting on their views on hit and running, either for or against.
GL dude, catch you on the tables.

about 20 mins ago you sat at £5/£10 plo with jakally you won £77 and sat out, don't say you disconnected or had to go out as 30 secs later you sat at a 6 seater £5/£10 plo table. i am not saying hit n run is wrong its something i would never do, and i wont play anyone who does.
