why should you have to play bad hands just to make other players happy
you wouldent do it if it were real money you were going to lose
it doesnt matter how well you bluff if you dont have the cards sooner or later someone is going to call you
i play my poker the way i want to play it not how others want me to play it

I agree we should be able to play the game our own way, I find it difficult with those who go all in but, it's part of the game and they don't always benifit.
We need to be able to find our own way as in life, poker is a lot like that, we make a choice and win or loose.

if u have bad hand then by all means fold but u can't get a bad hand every time in a tourny.i fold bad hands just like ev1 else but not every hand, makes for a very long & boring tourny.

Thats not true at all, there are some times that you just dont get strong hands and dont think you should play them. So it is indeed possible to have crap hands the entire time! Trust me I have been there.

are we seriously debating whether or not someone should be auto folding? please think about it a little further... if someone on ur table is in auto fold mode, especially towards the final table, u as players should recognize it immediately and come together in chat. each player folds to big blind then when big blind gets to auto fold guy the small blind raises n its all even but takes auto dude out quicker n makes him at least 10th. but if its during the middle of tourney who cares again? simply put, that player could also be folding wonderful hands that would have put you out if they called or raised...so, a non existent player should never score in the top 9 ever...and never cause someone to be upset.. you can do it too... in fact u get beat by auto folder u should realize maybe folding is the best option in poker 80% of the time?????
