Not Paying Attention to What You're Doing Can Cost You Money

OK, so it didn't cost him a fortune.

This is a PS 90 X $1.10 SNG. There are 13 players left and 12 get paid - BUBBLE TIME.

The winner of the winning hand has been sitting out for a loooooong time. Posting the blind had put him all in. All tmenzer had to do is raise. The pot would be his, he would be in the money, and he'd have a few more chips in his stack. What did he do? He FOLDED!!!! - and fueled the guy sitting out with enough chips to take another trip around the table.

A couple of hands later I put him out of the tournament and he became the BUBBLE PERSON.

Notice that I said he wasn't paying attention. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't call him an idiot. I'm not that kind of guy.

Oh, and if any of you want to abuse me for folding my 33 please feel free to do so. I think I had about $8K in chips and didn't feel like taking any chances on the bubble. I figured the job would be done for me. Silly me!

Yes, that was very dumb of the SB to fold there but what can ya do?

This situation happens a LOT more on Fulltilt because on that site it doesn't say "Sitting Out" on their seat like it does here.

I wish the Fulltilt seats said this, the tournaments would go so much faster IMO.

I believe that on Stars when a sitout is allin the hand is played out, not auto folded to a raise, but your point is well taken.

I saw a guy UTG-4 of us left in a 9 man SNG-shortstacked go all in with 405. Blinds were 200/400 and BB was the big stack. We folded to him and he folded. 5 more f%cking chips to call and he folds. Unreal.

lol, he had to be multitasking or something. Well, at least he had to pay for it and not someone else.

^^^ lektrik::: lol, thats amazing.

I have done that on more than one occasion when muti-tabling, folded to the sitout because the action was juicier on another table.

hahaha this happened one time in a freeroll the guy was top 3 in chips and got knocked off at the bubble in 3 hands.

Wow, yeah, I've had stuff like that screw me over. A couple times when blinds were high enough to damage just about everyone, the small stack should have been pushed all-in with little to no damage to whomever was putting out blinds, and they folded and I met my doom the next hand, etc.

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure you are correct. Thank you. My apologies to tmenzer, whereever you are. (apologies for criticizing your play, not for knocking you out as the bubble person.)

Maybe it was up to me to take him out with my pocket 33 after all.

That's a perspective I never considered. Thanks for pointing that out.
