Double Your Money Absentees
While I have to agree that DYM is probably an easy form of poker to play what i hate the most is people that sign into a DYM and sit out waiting for a payout ............. surely with the technology available skybet can see when this is happening and set up a system whereby if u sit away for a certain number of hands then ur buy-in will be forfieted and u will be ejected from the table ............ maybe then people can at least earn their payout

Have tried the steal the blinds trick myself, only for the player to "jump" back in mid-hand if they get decent hole cards.
There are a few, who regularly wait until someone has a big chip lead or 2 players have gone from the game.
Nothing illegal but it spoils the nature of the game....
Read the posts properly. Please.
Absentee = NOT PRESENT.
pay the money play or sit out
up to the person who pays what they do
cant kick some 1 4 it what happens if they have conection probs after reg 4 a game they get back to table to find they got kicked
plus theres nothin wrong with them sitting out the game just means theres 1 less to beat and if you get down to the last 4 and 1 sit out just sit out as well that way he be blinded out and you cash easy
p.s any players that do sit out to cash please please please sit on my tables ty
But surely even the hard of thinking can understand what amzzy 18 is saying.
It is players registering, then hiding behind the settee.
Folding every hand and sitting-out is NOT the same thing. You have to actually be present to fold.
Tight play is the key to dym success. NOBODY is disputing that, not even Blackfish. (yet)
i do understand what he is saying but then it is there money and they can sit out if they want i dont see anything wrong with them doing that as all you have to do is raise there blinds, but the part where he says

as said above this would be unfair for people who have connection problems
ive seen it lots of times down to final 4 some1 sat out people just fold and raise them they go out
i know he is saying its not a game like this but thats the way it goes they sit out or they just fold every hand
to me i like the fact they sit out cos then u know u can raise them with whatever and take the pot
aswhere if they cant sit out and just fold you dont know where you stand if u push on them
so im happy as it is
Can see what you`re saying ckd but what if 6 players took the "away" stance.
The chip and a chair tourney may not be such a bad thing.
Someone folding every hand and someone not present (i.e. absent)

Call it Pedantic, but that IS NOT the same thing. You blow your own argument out of the water.
Sitting out only becomes a viable strategy when multiple players react to the player sitting out. So as long as you keep it tight play a good solid game then these players are not even remotely a nuisance.The only players that can cause problems in a DYM are the allin bingo players and they are best just avoided.
How bizarre!
