Really really like this. At the very least allow each person to only sit at one empty table at a time. Prob won't happen though as I'm sure it hurts Stars' bottom line.

Yes, beyond worst idea ever.

1. I'd say about 80% of the time I join a new table during a session I post in the cutoff, I'd say about 4-5 times during a 15k hand session or so I click "sit out all tables next hand" to go make a coffee or hit the bathroom, only to realize I just posted and have j3o with that post, which is probably the top of my folding range when I post, but when this happens I sit out at all my other 23 tables and leave that one running because it wouldn't make much since to post, fold, then sit out.

2. The same situation, I sit out at all tables to do something for 3-4 mins, but I have a deep table with 6 enourmous whales on it, so I sit out the 23 tables and leave the deep one running.

that's y it would be

[ ] sit out all tables
[ ] sit out all tables next BB
and
"-if you want to leave just one table then click a leave table next bb button"


then if u rly rly want to get back into play on that super soft 5-whale table, just post OOP when u get back, ez game.

1. what im suggesting would have no effect on you other than the fact that it may prevent you from posting. if you didnt benefit from not posting then you would still play the orbit if you chose to

2. yes you wouldnt be able to post bb vs whales until you leave the other tables or sit back in, which serves the purpose

i dont know if what im saying is clear

sitting out = having an opportunity to post your bb and decline but still sit at that table

once you post your blinds on any table you're obv entitled to play the orbit. if youre "sitting out" on a table you wouldnt be allowed to post blinds on any other table until you sit back in or leave the table

where i can find decent 2012 year vods for nl50/100 FR? who is must see autors?

^Parle-tu anglais? I hate the idea of sitting out on one table=sitting out on all tables. Game-selection, Jesus-seating, Tim-Stoning, w/e you want to call it, it's part of the game.

Sure, it's part of the game, but it's a part of the game that helps to drive fish away from online poker. We're not talking about a bit of game selection here, we're talking about the stuff that makes it super-obvious to fish that they're being targetted.

To take the point of view of "it's just part of the game" is so shortsighted. I can't understand why a lot of ppl just don't get that.

Oh yeah, and I have no idea what that post above yours is about either.

Is it that obvious to fish that they're being targeted though? I assumed when a fish busted they simply left the table and that was that. Do they really sit around and watch the game for a bit after? I'd say that a vast majority of the pots I play are vs regs (naturally given mass tabling), but still, a lot of regs are playing against each other. I realize that fish are essential to getting games started/keeping them running, so I would want to take whatever measure ensured the most fish playing, but I think there's got to be a better solution than not allowing players to sit out on one or a few of their tables, although I can't think of one... Restructuring of FPP requirements for cash-bonus payouts seems like a good start?

Why do you want to watch videos? Better just to play and learn for yourself, that way nobody will ever know your secrets

Oooh vids. Was trying to work out what vods were. I'm dumb.

What this whole thing is about is people sitting out when the fish sit out. They're going to notice that when they sit out to go for a crap or whatever that when they come back to the table everybody else is sitting out. They're also gonna think it's strange that everybody sits back in when they do. People also notice when the same people sit on their direct left every single time they log into the site. I've even seen a few guys on the tables question this.

Fish might be ******ed when it comes to poker, but they're generally not completely dumb people, especially the ones that have tons of spare money to play poker with.

If it's within the rules to do all this stuff then fair enough, the only complaint anyone can have is from an ethical point of view (although I'm pretty sure sitting out and sitting in specifically to target one player is against Stars' rules), but maybe it suggests that the rules or the system needs changing?

Euro 2012 Kicks Off soon.

Today's fixtures:

Poland v Greece
Russia v Czech Rep.

Neutrals should be supporting Greece in the opening game against their racist opposition, Poland, who are co-hosting the tournament with an equally racist, yet arguably more scummy nation (Ukraine.)

And clearly neutrals should also be getting behind the Czechs in the day's later game against the cheating, short-stacking, drug-taking, film-villain-baddies, the Russians.

Greece plays horrrrrrible football and is trying to take down the world's economy, pretty hard to jump on that bandwagon.

Yes, but they do help out the poker economy, and it's not possible to root for both teams to lose.

-------

Shlt opening ceremony, not surprisingly.

BBC commentator: "The opening ceremony is about to start, but don't worry it won't be a long drawn-out affair."
