Snamuh 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 This is probably my greatest pet peeve in poker. When a guy sits out and doesn't return - taking up a spot for 2 orbits before being replaced by an empty seat. It really tends to break tables and create short-handed games, which I do not like to play. I understand if a player needs a break and wants to sit out a few hands with the plan of returning, but just sitting out with the intention of getting auto-kicked from the table really bothers me. Anyone feel similarly? Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 People that plan to turn right off a busy road but don't use their turn signal before jamming on the breaks to turn into some damn shopping center.Now that annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone feel similarly?Maybe they didn't sit out with the intention of getting autokicked off. Maybe they thought they had a quick issue to take care of and it became something more time consuming to deal with. Why sweat the small things ? Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It's more annoying when it's already an SH table and someone sits out. There's something ****ed up on Crypto too, if there's no waiting list, they can sit out forever, I think. It's weird and quite annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
Snamuh 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 when im playing a session, sometimes i like to take a break.I said breaks are fine, but if you aren't intending to return to the table, that person should leave rather than waste a spot for 10 minutes and potentially break the table.

koolromeo 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 i feel your pain. when i go to ac, i like to play omaha hi lo. it's really hard to keep the table full. there are a few regulars that will go and "wonder" all the time, which eventually breaks the game. Link to post Share on other sites
jburn812 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I totally agree with you OP. It is really annoying when someone sits out taking up a spot. Sometimes you have three people doing it at one time while people are on the waiting list. This means you have to play a five or six handed game even though people want to play. ANNOYING.

qyayqi 11 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 people who feel the need to use half the street to turn instead of getting over into the damn turning lane. it is called a turning lane for a reason, people. it isn't called the block traffic lane. Link to post Share on other sites

Snamuh 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Do you mean online or live sir? It doesn't really bother me at all.I haven't had the opportunity to experience it live. Online, I just really hate when I'm sitting at a table, only to have it break after one or two orbits because one or two people decide to sit out and not return instead of leaving altogether.

Online, I just really hate when I'm sitting at a table, only to have it break after one or two orbits because one or two people decide to sit outIt's worse live. Assholes get a meal ticket and leave their chips on the table for over an hour, then only return to rack up and leave. I guess I shouldn't mind 'cause when live games get short I gain a bigger edge, but it still kinda irks me. Link to post Share on other sites

Last week I was at Garden City playing 6-12, and 5 PEOPLE LEFT! We had to stop and have the floor man call everyone back to the table. It was really annoying and I was rushing at the time too.

mb5322 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Sometimes I have to poop, and sit out with the intentions of returning, then I end up pooping what can only be described as a softball, and end up getting booted from the table because I took to long. Link to post Share on other sites
