Putting my Mod hat on, while not speaking for the other Mods, at the moment I'm not considering this for closure. I would say that the general tone is beginning to move towards the line. This is just a polite notice to say play nice please people. Mod hat off, no rules against hit and running and you can do this as much as you want. However as soon as you get this reputation you can kiss goodbye to action for most regs. I'll probably play you though, I'm just a sucker for action. I would say that table blocking is pretty bad etiquette (I'm not accusing you of this as I have not seen this myself, but as it's been brought up I feel the need to address it). Again no rules against it but you will really annoy regs by doing this, and personally I don't think this is profitable in terms of both poker and personal character. Posted by TommyD
With regards to table blocking tommy i would never do that and i dont know how this has been suggested. Ok yesterday i sat at glitterbabes heads up table playing well above my roll and got a double up about 10 minutes in and left as i know i shouldnt have been playing at that level. I honestly did not reliase that this was considered bad etiquette until now and i apologise and will not do that again. With regards to glitterbabe i went to sit down at his heads up table again last night and he made his point that he didnt like what i did in an explicit way to say the least and could not name of the things i was called on here and i have the right mind to get sky to go through the chat history at that table.

like mr lolraise said nothing wrong with hit n running....its obv not going to work long term , nor should you ever consider doing it if ur trying to build a roll and play within your means. its very much the play of a recreational player wanting to make a quick buck which i didnt think was your intention.
I assume you're playing higher occasionally just cos of monkeytilt and you wanna get back ur losses quicker, the better player will not going higher , they will go lower and rebuild the roll...
The Author IMO has done nothing wrong, he can sit wherever vs whoever and with as much as he desires....He can play for as long as he likes and is free to leave whenever he so wishes...
On three seperate occasions yesterday Bearly sat vs me 100nl HU....and on every session if you can call it a session played no more than 20 hands and insta disconnected when slightly ahead.....On the 4th occasion I chose the sit out option which is my proagative and dulely had to explain why I wouldn't play him.... He explained how he didnt realise it was bad etiquette and appoligised for his actions...No problem or so I thought....I sat back in and started to play, must have been the 2nd hand where he C/R me on the river for a £60 pot obv holding the nutzzzz to which I had to fold and then surprise surprise the red disconnect bar showed up again.....
Losing 3-5 BI's over an hour or 2 really doesn't bother me as much as someone sitting there for 5 hands winning a tenner and leaving, but seriously doing it 4-5 times pretending you don't know what your doing is uber annoying....
Enough said, I was just trying to explain your etiquette if you don't get it then fine , just please don't sit vs me hu in the future cause you will be wasting your time....
Ok let me simplify this as best as possible!!!

Can’t help thinking hit& running is no worse than the bum-hunting lots of regs seem to do. It's his/our/your money so you can sit for as long as little as you like. What’s he supposed to do wait till he’s losing and then leave?
I don't think this should be dragged on and on, but basically the issues here seem to be this...
1. Yes it's 'fine' to Hit n Run if you want to, but at least have the decency to just stand up and leave and not pretend to disconnect.
2. Don't say that you genuinely didn't know there was any problem with doing this, then fake-disconnect to disguise the fact you're doing it. Why do that if you didn't know there was a problem with it.
3. Don't do it to someone, say you didn't realise it was bad, apologise, and then do the exact same thing to the same person straight after it.
So it's not the actual act of Hit n Running that's the problem, it's the way in which it was done. Either way, I think it should be left behind now. I think it's fair to say Wayne won't be playing HU cash with him again lol and others can make their own minds up. Now just let him get on with his diary and see if he can prove most of us wrong.

+1 good point
If someone hits & runs on you, yeah it's not nice - if they say they going to hit & run - then it's ok ? The paradox is, if someone sits down with the intention of hit & running - what happens if they lose
The more I think about it, we can combat the long term skill edge oppo's may have over us by playing short term and embracing some posiitive variance
viva la revolution !
So no one likes short stackers, no one likes hit & runs
I don't think anyone likes losing !
In general HU is surely only playable if you commit x amount of hands with your oppo

None of these so called "issues" are breaking any rules though. So there shouldn't really be a problem with any of this. Ok people might think it is sad, but thats just their opinion.
would u go in a live cash game say after a hours traveling getting there win 1 pot of 30 quid and just leave lol ? Posted by IDONKCALLU
lolz relative ? Could you travel 100 miles and play 10 cash tables at once ? Think we should stop the trolling now and let the guy get on with his diary !
I told you to stick to DYM's, look what trouble you have caused Bear!
Would like to get this thread back on track as it has gone off the rails lately! Been playing a bit of cash today up £123 so far. Will be back on the grind after i have my dinner playing some dyms. I will then be playing in the main event tonight with a couple of dyms on the side. I wont be playing as much from tomorrow for a few weeks as i have my university exams coming up although i do admit it is going to be hard to keep me away from the tables!
Dont give up playing cash Bearlyther, have played a bit with you, I think you are easily good enough to win. And you always do seem to be winning! Posted by Spad3s
Poker players can be extremely fickle, its up to you bear if you want to go pro, be it with £200 or 2k. There is no set way how you should chose to play the game- for fun or a living. The comments from most on here have made me lol, to take the mick and vilify a guy for giving it a shot with his own money is childish and solack posting a HH is absolutely pathetic
so much for the so-called sky poker community being the best around

i stopped readin after this. what are u babbling on about? OP is clearly naive & him having a proper long hard read of this thread & responses he has got will benefit him greatly
OK so he can't go pro because you all say so? If he doesn't have bills etc. to pay and nothing to lose tell me why he cannot give it a shot you ignorant fool.
