Cash Game Question

[totalise]

Steady on guys ... Totalise, Sofa and James, you dont have to be so smug and aggressive to a member of this forum for being honest.

who is being smug? its just a reflection of what normally happens..as per the link. Maybe I should LIE and say that it doesn't happen? I am thinking of the lesser rolled players who read Scotch Daves posts and think its a good idea. It isn't. it is a bad day for humanity when my selfless act of altruism gets shot down in such a barrage of flames

On Tribeca you can reduce, or sit back in with a lesser amount. I should stress here I only know this because I have been in the situation before where i have been playing a NL game and had the rest of my roll on a limit table. I wanted to enter an MTT so left my NL table up.
If you then try and sit in again it asks you to buy in again for the amount you left with, but if you join the waiting list, even if there are empty seats, it will sit you back in after about 30 secs and you can buy in for any amount.

Most of the casinos in vegas it\\\'s half an hour.
But even then it\\\'s at the dealer/floor person\\\'s discression and if someone was deliberately \\\"ratholing\\\" it wouldn\\\'t be allowed. I have certainly pointed this out to the floor on a couple of occasions and had them enforce the rule.
A few months ago I was to the left of a middle aged woman and we both had $900+ in a $200max 1/2 game.... she cashed out came back less than 10 minutes later with $200... I kicked up fuss because she was a big fish and I wanted her $900 stack so her ratholing would not be accepted by me, floorman told her to buy in for $900 or come back an hour later, meanwhile somone random person sits down in the spare seat and she goes away and plays limit poker at another table. PWNED !

Pretty standard poker rule though, even before this internets invention came along, i\\\'m sure.

so bassically you tried to bully a Middle aged woman?

no mate, she was out of order by blatently breaking a very well known poker rule, I mearly called the card room manager to make sure that the rules were enforced.
rules are rules, and theres no way I want someone breaking the rules to my own disadvantage.

So about 1/2 hour then, yeah?

[TightEnd]

I'd leave it 40 minutes to be safe. Especially in Cardiff. 


Morning!

you call this RATHOLING in my opinion this is called" hit and run" then come back to try again i wouldnt stand for it regardless how much money is involved if your true and need a break let someone play over you,and leave your £££ on the table  or where we play we count what we got and when we come back we put the same amount down, thats boll-x   to cut n run dont come to cardiff and try it

i hit and run plenty!

example - i sat a while back at a big cash game on betfair, sat with £350 on first hand i get AA and get it all in preflop against QQ, i double up to £700!

just before they delt the second hand, i said thanks to the table for letting me sit for one hand, and swiftly left the table, up a cool £350 in 30 seconds!

You are proud of this?

it doesnt bother me at all, i have £350 up so im happy.....if some one else sat and did it to me, id want them to Fekk off after that hand!

lol dont worry about it mate, its kind of fun, ive never been hated before, apart from ugly people that are jealous of my stunning chiselled good looks.

if people are angry that ive done this thats up to them, i dont need to explain my self to people for doing something that 80% of online player have done before.

im still good looking tho xx

sorry about the capitals my eyes are gone ,i dunno this seems to have gone from 1 comment into about 5 diffrent things ,and kev i have not insulted this guy ive given my opinon and thats what a forum is for if you dont like my opinion then thats upto you .im not calling this guy names im sure he will  have his say tomorrow about this but to what the original feeling i get from the comments of dave is that hes saying things to cause debate of which this forum is for as ,so telling me not in so many words dont answer, i think your being unfair and maybee biased imho,but thats upto you

i dont regularly play high stakes games, but sometimes i like to duck and dive in and out to spice poker up a bit.

The regulaqr games i play are MTT's £10 £20, but if im bored and have some spare cash ill dive into a higher cash game foir the rush, and if i hit, like i did with the Ace's thats a bonus, and i go back to low limits again.

i have stopped playing highstakes tho, as i have Emily now, and cant afford to lose that kind of cash.

as for expressing your opinion, my god man of course you can, thats what a forum is all about, where as calling me a liar and is a direct insult to me and my charactor, one that i shall not accept, you can either cease doing it, take it to PM, or take it to BB3?

Online i'd say you can leave at anytime if you want. I don't think there's any need for the verbal though - the QQ man is probably feeling a bit low at losing a buyin - there's no need to rub it in.

yes thats true, i maybe shouldnt have said that...point taken.

[mjrevie]

I'd say there is a major difference between doing this online and doing it live. Plus, if your playing with the same people online, then its probably best not to do it.

Plus, Dave shouldnt be shot down just for being honest. I'm sure there are loads of people who may not make a habit of doing it, but have done it at least once, maybe not even meaning to do it. I'm pretty sure most of us have left a table, maybe after getting lucky and winning a huge pot simply because we might have realised we were getting out played, getting bad cards, etc. Doesnt mean that you dont repsect poker etiquitee (cant spell )

[AdamM]

my take on this (generally, rather than Daves case specifically) is that a player can certainly get up and walk away after winning a big hand. if they're going to give 30 minutes notice and post at most two BBs and two SBs they might aswell get up straight away and let a new player into the seat. Doing it after one hand doesn't make much sense. you don't know if the table is a good or bad one after one hand. sit in a while and see if there's more to come.

If a player does leave a live cash table and they want to come back they should sit down with pretty much what they got up with. no one should object if it's short by the price of a meal or a couple of drinks but in needs to be in the right region.

I also think it's a bit OTT when players are told they can't take money off the table to buy a drink / pack of smokes / sandwich. I realise they aren't allowed to take lumps of cash off but £5 from a stack of £500 is no problem.

all the above is posted with live poker in mind but the same principles apply online.

HOWEVER, in Daves case he may have broken a few 'rules of etiquette' but he's not cheated and a CAPS LOCK tirade of abuse is well out of order. I admire his control. I'd have got very angry if a post that strong had been aimed at me.
