    Cash games here are a joke and am getting increasingly peed off with being riddled out of my money by constant suckouts. KK dealt twice within 3 hands and surprise surprise massively ahead and i lose both.  The second time the usual pair vs pair scenario and the lower hits set on the river. This is ruining poker, this is quite clealy not random as it happens all the time and i boycott this site unless i am reimbursed my £45 Massivley disgruntled Johnnyh1

    I'm starting to get really annoyed with people that double up and run away as soon as they do, it can be really infuriating, especially heads up. It's not allowed in a live game and shouldn't online either, i think there should be a ten minute rule to leave if you are up on starting money.

    I don't want to take sides on this one, as I'm ambivelant to the issue personally, but it IS "allowed" in Live poker. It is frowned upon by some, exactly as it is by some Online, but it is deffo allowed.

    PS - Thank you for your lovely PM, really appreciated.

    That's a remarkable situation and is surely an exception rather than the rule.
    It seems wholly unworkable in any reasonable card room too.

    Can we stop derailing an important thread?

    Double up and run/ratholing can't be stopped online so don't even bother wasting time debating this.

    Short stacking and other issues posted are much more important and need to be addressed.

    If you rathole live it's your perogative, but everyone can see you as you skulk out, whereas online I don't even consider it a hit and run. Most places at least (like sky) have the rules where you cant sit back down with less than you sat with if you've played in the last hour or so.

    I don't know how it can't annoy you. If there is one thing that really annoys me, its Hit n Runner's. 

    It's bad when they just quit and not play anywhere, but when you see them join another table with 20bb's it sorta sends me into spew mode (Though you prob don't know difference)

    You never know how many hands someone will play, it's online it's not face to face there is nothing to lose by sitting out after a big win and many people who sit in with short money are making a pretty sensible decision standing.  It may be bad for you but so what? It's no reason to tilt.

    You have to walk into the casino, get on the list, sit in the game, win a big pot, then have the nerve; to walk over to the cashier, change up, walk out the place and drive home etc etc 

    Online you click stand and you're gone, it's so much more impersonal. When people arrive live they'll often be like oh i've driven up from xyz so you know they wont be leaving after one hand etc etc.

    What is floppin wrong with it is what I'd like to know-- you all seem to think there is something inherently wrong with the fact that someone can win some floppin cash, and leave the table without giving you a chance to get it back---lol---I very often triple up and leave the table, and I consider it good sound strategy to do so-- so there!

    People need to understand this thread isn't about bashing shortstackers.

    It's just shortstacks of 10BB's is taking it to the extreme.

    20BB minimum would be a step forward, if not completely satisfactory.

    Hi Free.

    No, but I've not chased them this week, as Bernie is on Holiday, & they have had their hands full with some new "releases". Rebuys & add-ons arrived today, & something else equally important is "very imminent", so I thought it best not to trouble them overly.

    But I'll re-send the Thread to them now.
