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)

Poker is all about making constant adjustments.
To say you would never consider sitting out on purpose
to possibly satisfy some software glitch in order to better increase
your luck factor is just plain BY THE BOOK. I am saying, It works!
So don't try it and continue to play by the book and everything is peachy.
I will continue to adjust to the software tendencies every chance I get.
Will this make me a worse player. NO
I understand the basics and the new aggressive approach to the game.
I don't think that is enough to give me the edge.
So, I am always looking for that edge.

Yeah, but you didnt say you won games, you said you cashed more. From what ive read noone whose done this has gone on to win. All my wins ive played the entire game. No stops

That's because I don't understand how to create an advantage in heads up.
your laughing you should
Are the planets aligned tonight?
That means 3-9 is golden.
