Played 5 hands at 8/16 while waiting for 4/8 table...now true I caught some good cards and the flop hit me...and I made money...but once again..I ran well...for the 5 hands I played...and thank you for the greeting into the club GRAND POOBAH....lol.

Win it back????? It didn't go anywhere!!!!!!!! and once again JRD...lol...

If you don't think it hurts you, go ahead and throw an extra $2 into the pot every hand. I doubt anyone would mind.

I never said it's forfeited. If anyone else did, they worded it poorly. But if you think the advantage you gain from having position when you post your blinds behind the button makes up for getting fewer hands than everyone else for the same amount and *never* playing the button, more power to you.

I'm playing a bunch on ACR these days FYI. You can come try it out. Maybe try to check raise bluff the Russians on 4 flush boards. It'll work great.

DM is the one who originally used the word forfeited. I agreed with it, although possibly not exactly correct, it is sort of forfeited to the pot. It is exactly the same as if the house splashed. The pot with $2. Everyone has a chance to win it, but only one person put it up, so it is a disadvantage to that person.

Anyway though, if you really think doing this is an advantage, just do it yourself! If I thought it was an advantage, I would certainly do it.

No, only in position. Don't you know how position works?

No need to be snarky

OK, then just throw an extra $2 into the pot when you are inlate position, snarkmeister!

Sometimes he's Calli, sometimes he's Snark Kent

+1 if you intentionally broke the quote tag.

snark kent is nice - first time i've heard that one

lmao..figured you clowns would be in here running ya mouths as usual...Id rather throw in a xtra 2$ in position once every orbit and avoid having to blindly post 2 then 4, first , then second to act all day! considering the number of times your folding away that $2 in small blind, as compared to being pretty sure your going to AT LEAST (caps for you JRD) see a flop! And just a quick English lesson...to forfeit something is to lose it with no chance of getting it back....$2 isn't forfeited! You're in the pot with everyone else! True if you want to raise you have to raise 4 instead of two.but SO WHAT! once again consider the large number of times your folding your small blind away! and then you're REALLY forfeiting the $2 you clowns kill me!

No only once an orbit, with the added benefit of not having to blindly post same amount up front, but i"m repeating myself...

Yep, no need to keep repeating yourself, just DO IT! Start sitting out your blinds and posting behind every round. I doubt there is any rule against it, and I would love to read about how it goes for you, so please report back to us.

Always felt it was an angle shoot, but next session I'm going to do exactly that and let you know.

N just FYI, I have seen floor men stop people from doing it, but then again what do the floor men know lol...

Probably because it's annoying rather than it giving any sort of strategic advantage. Having players sit out 3 out of every 9 hands is very irritating, like the gentleman who goes on half-hour walks every 45 minutes.

Also because the floor probably gets tired of idiots complaining because they don't understand it's not an advantage

agree, that truly gets under my skin.

Ahhh mr rigged...who says its not an advantage I haven't heard any reasonable argument to the contrary...forfeiting small blind Lmao!

Curiously omitted from DM's analysis is the loss of 3 hands per orbit (for the same price), the loss of the button (the most profitable position at the table by far), and the complications around calling your post against a raise not closing the action.

If only there was a way for people to have been able to accrue 7 figure hand samples to help us answer whether or not posting from the CO versus posting from the normal blinds is a +EV move.

I once had a guy get so frustrated by me and an other player going to war every time he was the bb that he decided to sit out every BB and buy the btn the next hand

Actually you've heard several, you just choose to not listen

NOOOO I haven't, I listened and replied. and the only people who put forth any type of REAL argument had to admit that they weren't sure if it was or wasn't an advantage! Obviously there are advantages and disadvantages..and while button is profitable...Blinds are even more UNPROFITABLE! Are you a trust fund baby, you can't be playing 20/40 based on your skill level...maybe you're one of those LUCKY idiots that just always run well????
