sitting out (one for Lava)

[cuddycat]

The tournies are every 6 hours so it doesnt really matter what side of the globe your on.

If you know you cant play the full thing don't register simple really, its called manners, yes there are occasions when things crop up that are out of our hands and thats fine but when the same players do it time and time again it gets annoying

OP tournies yes cuddy..... But every 6 hours here means start times are 5am.... Not finished b4 work time.....11am and 5pm...... At work so that leaves 11pm to start playing in hetmans...... Add to that a 3am start for Mammoth and a 1am start for the originals...... Not really Aussie friendly times.

[cuddycat]

so 7am, 1pm are?

Yes, it is annoying... especially in heads up situations. However, I don't mind it as much because they provide free chips to the rest of the table. I know strategies tend to change as people try to steal their chips... but for some reason they always seem to win on their final all in.

Wasn't it this script, when we first moved, that the time bank continued each turn although the person wasn't there?

hate it when i join a sng and find that people sit out for ages.

worst case ive had was from the start of the sng 4 people sat out leaving myself and one other playing. me and the other player didnt raise or call any hands when it came round to our bb we just kept raising the non-active players blinds and shared the bb. the others most have realised what we was doing and soon became active again. lol. the most anyyoing thing about it was that it was for only 10 cents lol. 10 measly cents.

i enjoy my sng's and because no one really plays them on the free side i tend to play them on the money side. but if i want to have a decent game i find that you have to move up to the higher tables like $3 to $5 tables. this can become quite expensive if you wanna play a few hours of sng's for some light entertainment.

I don't like it either mate but how can you say it's BS if it's within the rules? We were spoilt before when there was a time out. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but strictly speaking we shouldn't have had that option because it's against the rules. If you ask me this topic is dead in the water.

hate campers. its ridiculous! if you miss 3 hands in a row you should be out. if you sat down to play poker play it then!!
