Playing against sit outs

[1MasterKid1]

Hello all,

How is it possible to play poker with players who are “sit out”? This is happening at 888poker 🤨😡…. the software is too old and weak…i wanted to put some money but for this soft i will not deposit any money…I'm very disappointed with this platform... maybe they will notice and update the software so that those who are not at the table are simply thrown away.
888poker wake up and do something with your soft…
All the best!

It's really easy, you just steal their blinds and antes. I cant see why you think players sitting out is a problem! Especially for freerolls many people register but dont bother playing.

I dont understand why are you complaining about playing against who is away. Free chips my brother.

Welcome to the community. 😊
Yes, it is important to play comfortably.
And you need to get used to every poker platform. But why waste your nerves?
I've only played on pokerstars for many years. A year ago, our country was deprived of the right to play there.
I searched for available poker rooms and found one.
It was so wild: the random number generator is just unthinkable, the interface is disgusting and the only joy was a new kind of poker that I met - Chinese pineapple.
However, I deleted this pokerroom after a couple of weeks.
I found other poker rooms that suit me.

Think about it: complaining, but continuing to play is marking time. Everything is in your hands - you are not a powerless slave and you can choose where to play (the main thing is that there is a desire).
Good luck to you.🌺🌺🌺

Hello.
I have noticed as well that sit out players can win a hand on 888 poker
That's why it's necessary to raise every time they are BB or SB.
But we can consider it's free chips. So you should take advantage of the situation

its not only the problem on 888 Poker, its the same on pokerstars, so you have to be careful.

 

[roger perkins]

The problem is where you are sitting in relation to the person that is sitting out. The seat directly to the right of the person that is sitting out has a greater possibility of picking up their blinds if everyone folds. So this gives that person an advantage of extra chips.

Strange problem.
I have been playing on 888 for many years and in my opinion it is one of the best sites out there. If your opponents are "sit out", what's the problem, just take their chips and win the tournament

This is great indeed unless the person in question also folds lol ...

Really all you can do is raise or fold and not compound the problem by limping with players sitting out.

I used to find it difficult to play against people who are sitting out because then I had the feeling that I wasn't playing honestly and would steal their chips, but now I'm a bit older and maybe even more mature and now I have a different view and get the chips as best I can. After all, it is not my responsibility whether my counterpart is playing or sitting out, I play as well as I can and when someone is on a sit out then I get as good as my advantage goes

The only way I know a sitout can win a hand is if they are in the big blind & the entire table folds to them. If you are the only other player in the hand a simple call will take down the pot.

I like playing against players sitting out, it's free chips! What bothers me is when someone disconects and the time continues to run every round.

I think it's pretty simple.... raise and take their chips

 

[fundiver199]

As many have said, its difficult to see, why this is a problem, since you can just steal their blinds and antes, until they are forced all-in. Also as a small tip there are less sit-out players in tournaments, where people need to pay to participate. So maybe deposit and try some of those, if you dont like the freerolls

 

[1MasterKid1]

I dont understand why are you complaining about playing against who is away. Free chips my brother.

If you go “all in” with one sit out player and he win he take all chips. It is not normal. If you are a poker player you should be see that. And it is not okay to plat with sit out players. On the pokerstars platform when you play with a “sit out” player the hand is instantly thrown.

Cheers

Just because other sites do it different, does not mean, that is better or more "normal". And if you believe, its so unfair, that someone can win a small pot while sitting out and being forced all-in, then why dont you sit out yourself? The rules are the same for everyone, so if you think, something favour a certain way of playing, then just do it yourself

🤨🤨🤨…okay…never mind, you don’t understand anything. If you’ve ever played live poker you can see what i mean.

Cheers!

Naturally, live poker is very different from online poker, but why such a loud statement that we do not understand anything? 🤔
Most of the participants who answered you play both online and live poker, however, their views are not much different.
No need to get mad at the pokerroom. If you are more satisfied with live tournaments - play them. If you don't like a certain pokkerroom - change it to another one.

Sorry but I just wanted to make the point that if you are not present at the table to simply throw the cards away. That way you win without raising (old soft) or if it’s all in and it’s just you and the player to get instant the chips. I played poker on many platforms and this was an old rule. We are in a new era and pokerstars has made it so that you don’t play with a player who is out of the game. It’s also much easier for us if you simply take their chips without playing against them. Logically it’s more okay this way.

And also what bothers me is that they show my cards in all in with a player who is “sit out”.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I played on 888, but for an extremely short time now I don't even remember my ID. But, in the end, I settled on Pokerstars.
To be honest, I don't remember the reason why I stopped playing there, but, usually, I choose what I like best and, perhaps, what you write about could be one of the reasons.🤷‍♀️

 

[dreamer13]

On the contrary, I like it, I used to play in freerolls on tables of 9 players and 8 do not play out, I just had to raise and take all the chips.

 

[1MasterKid1]

And wouldn’t it be better to stop raising to steal the chips, just fold the hand instantly? And at all in put and simply get the chips without the cards showing? 😉

If they are absent, you don't have to confront them, just take away as much chips as you can
