Annoying none players...

Twenny_P

How does every find it when you have so many Away from game players on as table in tournaments?

Just had to play a table of 6 with 4 AWAY...

You just can't play a game... Frustrating!!

True, but, it has allowed me to go deep in a lot of tounies where as I would psobs have not done so had the players been there.

Common in freerolls.

Some players sit out deliberately as a tactic in DYMs. But beware, they're usually watching and will jump in if they pick up a premium.

In tournies with an entry fee it's often players with connection problems (red time bar = disconnected, green time bar = connected but sitting out for some other reason).

all part and parcel of the game, once someone has regd they're free to play it how they want

Not if you can stack the only other active player by outplaying them HU, keep stealing the dead money to tilt them and make them get it in with worse vs u

Its always going to alter the dynamic.  Shocking the messes people get in going after the dead money.

Then you find yourself in weird spots when raising as there is the perception that you may be going after the dead money.

I like freerolls where everyone is sat out but you.  Keeps it simpler.......

dont need a monster, king high with a dodgy kicker is usually enough, they usually get fed up and stack off with much worse.

and amybr, i like getting into messes lol, its much more fun!

Can I just say that "Can I just say" is a really pointless phrase

because you just said it, and you dont need anyones permission

SoLack

No; go away.

Surely playing against one player means hand value goes down therefore any ace is a monster?
id rather play one person than 5 anyday of the week.

Tourneys and STTs, fine, free chips, don't complain.

They should only be annoying in cash where they are blocking a seat for 10 minutes

But every single terrible hand gains a lot o' value...

Lambert180

Why would not complain that people are giving up their chips without a fight every single hand.

is well annoying if only 2 active & 4 aways & active player is to your left. U end up playing 5/6ths of the hands oop or conceding the dead money

That's true, I hate always being OOP to the one other active player.

Can i just say also "Can I just say that" is really pointless phrase because you said to "Can I just say" the same thing as he did to before

Its anoying if you like to play poker cos it gets F.E.C.K.I.N BORING

When you sit down to play at a six or ten handed table you do it for that reason other wise you would go to a hu sit n go against 1. But im happy when it happens at the ft in a torny
