Sitters on Mini Tourneys

[flip29a]

Hi
Has anyone else come across this when playing mini tourneys. People sitting, just playing blinds then folding. On old system they were eliminated quite quickly but there doesn't seem to be a way round this on the new system. Find it really frustrating that they can actually go on and win when never played a hand.

Yes I have seen this flip another popular alternative seems to be to win a few hands then sit out the rest until they are in the last 3 and then rejoin.

Though people are having problems getting to the games at the moment so it could also be because of this.

Yep, seen it to, very frustrating. Can anything be done about it, like on other tables if you sit out it bumps you off after four hands (I think)

yes i went on a 6 seater sit and go table, all other 5 poeple did this so i just kept reraising every hand, very frusrating, but i did win,

On the old system you could also fold as many times as you wanted; you were only eliminated if you sat out of four consequative hands.
I see no problem with people using this tactic, their chips will soon disappear in the latter stages of any tournament.

It is also played like this in real life tourneys..if you pay to enter and leave, your chips stay on the table and you get blinded out.
