The Power of Sitting Out (Tourneys)

[eejit101]

I didnt make the thread.....ok lets say you are the chip leader for a 100 dollar buyin 50 people are left and top 30 get paid good money......you just take the worst beat ever ....quads over quads that your opp. caught on the river.... your telling me you would not take a break or sit out for 5 min....

Hell no. Firstly ive never seen quads vs quads. If i was chip leader for a $100 buyin, 50 ppl left, 30 paid, that means 250-300 people started the tourney.

Cashing would therefore pay approx $175.

Which for a $110 game is a profit of $65.

Which if i was playing $100 tourneys is not much.



The only reason id go for a break from the table and miss hands is the following....

1 - I ran out of smokes and had to go buy some. (which happens occasionally)
2 - I badly needed the bathroom. (which happens alot)
3 - My computer broke, or lost connection. (which happs sometimes)
4 - A lovely woman was naked, and seducing me in a beckoning way (which happened once)
5 - Something was on fire (which happened twice, both times my cooking i was doing and forgot)
6 - Someone was at the door (A few times, once was the woman one)
