XX44466XX 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 You sit down at an online Omaha table, 6-handed, with blinds of $1/2.You hit 2 sets and the nuts once, adding $400 to your stack.It's only been 18 minutes.Do you really need to stick around, after making 200 BB?

bigbrennan 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 If you are running good but are clearly being out played and getting lucky then run.If you can crush this table and these stakes then stay.If you have the BR to play those levels and you are stronger than the table then it would be a bad idea to leave IMO.

And if he knew the answer, he should have stayed. Link to post Share on other sites

antistuff 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 More a question along the lines of etiquette and such, but is there any online really, especially at low stakes nowadays?again if you are playing at stakes where you have to ask, there is no such etiquette. if you were playing nosebleed stakes you might want to watch what you do because there is a very limited pool which will give you action.

SlapStick 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Brunson says its one of his favourite things about online in SS II, "no stigma attached to getting up and leaving"So yes, you can leave Link to post Share on other sites
bigbrennan 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 More a question along the lines of etiquette and such, but is there any online really, especially at low stakes nowadays?I always wait for the blinds to pass me one more time then leave.It does cheese me off when people take your stack and then instantly leave, not even one hand but just go. I always like to see people do another rotation (even if they fold it all).But online is online, do what you wish. Link to post Share on other sites

I always like to see people do another rotation (even if they fold it all).But online is online, do what you wish. This usually happens to me against shortstackers. I'm not really worried about losing 1/4 buy-in to them.If I was in the game and wanted to leave, I'd just wait one or two rounds to do it so it at least looks like you aren't leaving after winning a huge pot. Just fold all your hands. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I could care less if someone leaves right after stacking me.It's not like I can't win any money from the other players. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I've sat at a table, had everyone fold to me in my first BB, and then left. Mostly when the wife came home or the kids need me or for any of a dozen other reasons unrelated to the game and related to the real life around me. That happens a lot in online poker.I've also won a big pot and left because I didn't feel like playing anymore.I don't really see anything wrong with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever 1 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 At those stakes I don't think anybody would even think about that being a hit and run. Basically nobody cares online unless it's heads up and/or for a lot bigger stakes. Link to post Share on other sites
