I can think the only reason you would want to "hit and run" is in low buy ins, playing no limit. From past experience I'd say it's fairly hard to tell whether someone does a hit and run unless your playing higher buy-ins, and a hit and run committed is most probably based on a survival/
gambling strategy. You essentially can't play a normal game, in my view, as a starting bankroll, attempting to work your way solely on rings. You're not coming to a table with the max amount allowed when entering. The blinds will eat you alive and your only goal is to basically double or triple up before you leave. You would sit at a table for a blind or two and before it came around for maybe the 3rd time, depending on the table, you'd leave. If you happen to get a pair in the hole, or even decent cards on the flop, you're more than likely going to be pushed into going all-in by the big stack who has ten times your stack and thinks can push you around. If you did win the rake just took a large percentage of your pot. Attempting to bring 5% of your bankroll and triple it in micro tables IS essentially gambling. This is why playing micro-buy-in rings is a very hard profit. That's my view. . . You can of course tell from this that I don't play rings, but if I did it would be at higher buy-ins with a healthy bankroll...and I obviously don't endorse attempting to make money at micro tables buy hitting and running. Buying into a table as the big stack and attempting to dominate the others, seeing that you'd have more chances to get your money back if you lost hands would be a better bet. Not that it would be worth it anyway, since it's forcing your opponents to take shots, hitnrun, then with the rake, forget it.
