Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Seen the lot now!
Playing a dym with 4 players left in (6 seater) where there were an away player with 800 chips with the blinds 200/100 and the other 2 players were going at me and each other ! If they let it go round for another minute or 2 they would have doubled up.The away turns up with 700 chips and doubles up straight away,then ends up with 4000 chips !!! Then one of the aggressors gets knocked out? I hope there is no one here to tell me the logic behind this type play.

You tend to see this a lot at the the lower levels such as 60p DYM's etc. There are a lot of newbies coming to the site every day and a lot of them are just learning the game and trying out the software etc, but a lot of them don't know or understand what is the best way to play when another player is away.
I'm sure they will learn over time, I used to do the same myself years ago when I first joined sky poker
That being said, some players just like to play their own game rather than rely on the shortstack being knocked out. I once kept folding my hands waiting for the shortstacker to be knocked out only to find him come back & shove when he was down to 500 chips. He doubled up twice in consecutive hands making me the short stack and I struggled to make the cash. If I had played a couple of hands while he was away instead of folding I may have been more comfortable.
