What do people think of the Bum Hunting controversy? Apparently GG confiscated funds from a player for bum hunting and signing up to one of their skins again after they were banned. I don't know all the ins and outs of the story, but it was the first time I heard the expression "bum hunting". It's a pretty funny expression and makes me laugh every time I hear someone say it!
It also strikes me as strange because I'm still learning the game and everyone stresses how important game selection. You don't have to be the best player as long as you have an edge against your competition, you can be successful.
I often check a tourney on Shark Scope to see the ratings of players before I sign up. I don't want to play with a pool of sharks! Does that make me a bum hunter? Am I bum hunting lite? LOL!
I know they are talking about cash rather than tourneys and about leaving the table as soon as the "bum" leaves but what exactly is bum hunting? Where is the difference between bum hunting and getting info so you can play a game where you have an edge or selecting a soft game where there are more fish? I guess the difference is to do with degrees.
Anyway, I'd love to hear what others think about bum hunting! LOL
