cant believe some people im sat at a table with 2 sitters for the whole game get down to me and one other player with the other sitter to the right of me gets all the way down to just about 100 chips left and other player in just keeps raising ever hand to steal i get a q high flush all they had to do was check it but no they put me all in when i have my flush and they hit k high flush on the river  with k3 off beating my Q high flush i hit on turn. seriously it does my head in. its just down right bad sportsmanship.

Why register for a torny if your not gonna play it disrupts the flow of the game and couldnt do anything.
anyone else have this happen?

    Thought you said you were with sitters for the whole game?

    God knows why anyone would do it in an MTT they're paying for, I've only seen people do it for any length of time in freerolls.

    Fair play if you're just after a good "proper" game though, I can see how it'd be annoying if you're in it for a proper poker match. Got to be a good thing money-wise though!

    i cant understand it either if your paying for a game why wouldnt you play. Sometimes its cos they havnt got connection but not whole game. Dont mind the odd sitter if i can nick there blinds but what annoyed me the most was just the other guy only had to check for us both to cash he had huge stack and i tried to play him for most of the game but lost a few big hands. he still woulda won it if he checked the river only had 4 bb left

    i did think of it but had hit my q high flush and just had feeling that sitter would go all in double up and i would be all in next hand with rubbish so had to really was the first hand i actualy hit any thing above a pair and other guy just kept raising me all in every hand before when i hit pairs and such and didnt want to not cash. My fault in a way should of made a stand regardless of the sitter but it just put my game off. think the next time im just gonna have to bite the bullit and call him on it regardless of if i cash or not. Problem was he had  double my stack i tried to play hands and hed shove every time i made a move. i said to him why didnt you just check it and answer i got back was 'loser' so what can you do. somepeople are just that way. Anyway lesson learned -  dont expect anything when it comes to gamesmanship. I did it the other day held pkt 8s against sitter who was all in and other guy only had about 3 big blinds i hit a set and folded them so he would cash and still got the win.

    If you cant beat people who are away give up imo , seriously it does create a metagame sometimes with other players nicking there blinds just use position and bet most flops they should fold.

    never heard of a sitter before lol

    I wouldn't be telling people this if I were you.


    Personally I don't worry too much about who else cashes as long as I do.

    yea i know i should of played it different just got undermy skin and put myself in a bad situation. Normaly wouldnt do that but you know sportsmanship and all that would rather give a player a chance rather than someone not playing.

    well nothing untoward there was flush on the board and other guy was all in so kinda new i was beat and is why i folded mainly. But woulda hated to have taken live player against a non player. also i asked why he didnt check it after the hand was over and i was knocked out.

    suppose its like if someone timed out on you or got disconnected you either steal his blinds or give the other player a chance to reconnect.

    actualy it was wierd that 1 player was sat out whole game and the other sat out until there were 3 off us left then decided to shove pre i think. while other live player with big stack folded . Could this have been colusion by 3 players? im not sure if ive had this or not so not able to spot them.
