So many times especially in the freerolls people join and sit out. Can become very annoying when sometimes they make final table and gpokr gives them the winning hands when they are all in.
Very hot subject on this site but we all know Ryan will not do anything about this. But I certainly do not think someone should join a tourney and sit away and continue to play at tables. This happened in members today with a player who while away was playing 20k tables. Either tourney or tables. Anyone agree? |

at 3:30 PM, Friday July 29, 2011 EDT yes it is a trend that has begun this month more noticeably. Several people have said they sit out until it gets down to a few or final tables or 1000 which ever one comes first. To me this is the same as cheating as you only risk the blinds.If you enter a tourney you should play it not at the tables it is the same as playing two acts at the same time which is against the rules

at 3:45 PM, Friday July 29, 2011 EDT Well I cant label it cheating but i do think when someone has 10 mill and joins members and sits out whole tourney certainly is bad sportsmanship and just out right greedy.

at 1:46 PM, Saturday July 30, 2011 EDT fair enough if it is a paid for tourney they can do what they want. In a freeroll any away player could be made to pay big-small blind each hand ,this will almost guarantee they will not make final table, hence the trend will stop and maybe leave places open for people who actually want to compete
