| Not fair...??? I just had a look at the Pro's and watched Mike Matussow playing with a German player...! Mike had $6,800 and this german player $2,000, so I thought that this would be a game the German player would loose in the long run. They played at a $100/200 table... So they started to play the first hand, and the German won $800... He immediately left the table and was never seen... I think he's now going out and tells everyone he knows, how he had beaten Mike Matussow at the table... Damn, that was very unfair...! |

| It's not unfair, but it is lame. But I do understand the impulse. The guy probably sat down seeing MM sitting alone, but he sat down with too much of his roll and he's scared as shit. He wins that first hand and thinks "I can't do it. I can't play at this level. I'm risking too much-- this is stoopid. I'm too scared playing this guy. Gotta go." IMO, it's just the opposite of bragging. It's an admission that he's over his head. Last edited by doops : 24th July 2010 at 4:50 PM. |

| Mike probably lost the first hand and said "&#@#@! MA FIND OUT WHERE THIS GUY LIVES... *dials number* HEY KID, I WANT MY FKING 800 BACK YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD I RUN IN POKER I WANTED INSURANCE BUT U CALLED TOO FAST..." Just kidding lol, I love Mike. Hit n Run artists are annoying, but you can't really blame them, I wouldn't wanna sit at a table with Mike Matasow and my life savings either. Then again I would never do it at all in the first place. |

Wouldn't it more likely be > they'd been playing for a bit, Mike appears to be up a couple buyins, they guy adds back to 100bb's (or maybe was just stacked off & now grabs 100bb), wins a hand & calls it a day (or maybe he needed to leave?... who knows?). |

| re: Not fair...??? poker it seems very tempting to do this, on a much lower note, I feel like doing this everytime I get ahead in ring gams but figure Im here to grind and learn but let me ask yall this Back to poker room etiquette, Whenyou take down a big pot real quick like within 15 minutes of sitting down. On 2 different occasions I got up over $80 in 15 minutes and just wanted to get up and leave. But there are many regulars where I play live and figured this would be frowned upon so I would stay and usually lightning would keep striking and I would end up losing a nice part of this stack. Any opinions, I know there is no rule and I can get up anytime but I dont want to be known as a hit and run player either |

Now is it good form? No. People are going to look at you funny. In the old days, some might even take it further than that. Or they'll remember you and refuse to give you action in the future. Bottom line, you'll look like a douche. But that's your business, you do what you feel like you have to do to protect yourself. As long as you understand that our actions can sometimes have consequences, maybe even cost you more in the long run in lost action, and you're okay with that. Personally, if I'm in a position like that, I'm gonna stick around for at least a couple of orbits, even if I'm folding every hand. And when I know I'm going to end the session soon, I'll usually announce it during table chat. That way if I chip way up on my last hand, people will know that I was leaving anyway. |

| I made a thread on something like this a few days ago. I found out of 10 HU game i played something if they win one hand or you fold a few and they are in profit, even at micro stakes by about just 5cents they just leave.. It leaves you feeling frustrated because you haven't got a proper game goin. That's why i wish these online ring HU games had a buy-in amount and you must play x amount of hands before leaving to give a fair game rather than someone getting lucky one hand and just leaving.. |
