The Power of Sitting Out (Tourneys)

[0maxpower0]

I listened to a poker software designer on Rounders Radio months ago.
He said that the software has noticable tendencies to favor certain behavior.
I picked up on this years ago, but never had it validated. People have even
called me a robot because I play with such software tendencies and am successful. Sitting out for a short while almost always gets rewarded.
I play an afternoon game and get a call to pick up wife, everytime I left for 20min in mid game I cashed. The software designer also went on to say
that the seat positions are very important to focus on. Certain seats will beat another seat all day long with any 2 cards. Just try it! If you get beat twice by the same seat #, avoid at all costs.

Man i certainly hope not... If its ever found out that online poker has these odd tendencies ( favoring "donk" plays, certain seats winning) then that'd be a serious problem. On the other hand, just becuase of statistical odds in teh short term some seats will be "hotter" than others so unless the sample size of hands was really high, i wouldnt believe its fixed. About the freerolls thing, thats how u play a freeroll, double or triple up, sit out, then do it again. Playing too many freerolls messes up my MTT game though, it seems in the real MTTs im always too impatient, mauybe i should just stop playing freerolls :-p

I think this strategy is a little squisite, wird...
I do belive that somehow a program might have some crazy paterns due to some crazy bug on the program lines. But for the pourpose of cooling down I dont see the point, just dont go with bad hands.. thats it.


Hugs for all!
