How does every find it when you have so many Away from game players on as table in tournaments?

Just had to play a table of 6 with 4 AWAY...

You just can't play a game... Frustrating!!

    Common in freerolls.

    Some players sit out deliberately as a tactic in DYMs. But beware, they're usually watching and will jump in if they pick up a premium.

    In tournies with an entry fee it's often players with connection problems (red time bar = disconnected, green time bar = connected but sitting out for some other reason).

    Not if you can stack the only other active player by outplaying them HU, keep stealing the dead money to tilt them and make them get it in with worse vs u

    Its always going to alter the dynamic.  Shocking the messes people get in going after the dead money.

    Then you find yourself in weird spots when raising as there is the perception that you may be going after the dead money.

    I like freerolls where everyone is sat out but you.  Keeps it simpler.......

    dont need a monster, king high with a dodgy kicker is usually enough, they usually get fed up and stack off with much worse.

    and amybr, i like getting into messes lol, its much more fun!

    Can I just say that "Can I just say" is a really pointless phrase

    because you just said it, and you dont need anyones permission

    Surely playing against one player means hand value goes down therefore any ace is a monster?
    id rather play one person than 5 anyday of the week.

    Tourneys and STTs, fine, free chips, don't complain.

    They should only be annoying in cash where they are blocking a seat for 10 minutes :/

    Why would not complain that people are giving up their chips without a fight every single hand.

    is well annoying if only 2 active & 4 aways & active player is to your left. U end up playing 5/6ths of the hands oop or conceding the dead money

    That's true, I hate always being OOP to the one other active player.
