haha +4 for sexyangeline.

Watched him make a fish leave to play him HU the other day luckily i managed to sit in the fishes soon to be seat at sexyangeline's HU table and block the scumload :P.

Also maybe I am just stoopid but what is the textbook definition of grimming? I'm a little confused.

Dealer: A new game will start in 10 seconds
Dealer: Hand #79518830202: Demidova wins pot ($12)
Dealer: Hand cancelled
$-Twackle-$: scumlist

also no evidence cus i didnt screen but rucktseca is a huge grimmer who only plays his Btn

grimming- its scummy and will never end, if your opening tables on a reg basis I guess just expect to be grimmed from everyone that isint a well respected reg, take notes and slowroll.

fake table starting- I get it but in today games if you are starting tables you have 9 players staring at you sitting alone waiting for the rec. player to sit so they can sit to his left. 2 yrs ago it was a big advantage starting tables, but not so much anymore because everyone gets it now. If someones starting tables and wont give you action, think of him as doing your work for you, wait till the rec player sits and take the best available seat.

seat hopping- I used to curse everyone that did this, but now im starting to think im a sucker for not doing it. I have done it a few times but it felt super greasy, Id like to here more opinion on seat hopping.

i seat hop in live poker

i seat hopped all the time on FTP when it was as easy as just clicking "stand up" then sitting back down. i guess other sites make this tougher because you actually have to close the table, and then find it in the lobby again to re-open it.

The only thing bad about seat hopping is that the rec player may notice and be offended right?

seems to be the concensus......however in my thousands of seat hops i don't EVER recall the fish getting mad and leaving or typing anything in the chat. usually its the other reg thats so offended who types in the chat that brings it to the fishes awareness.

imo if fish even notice to begin with that you changed seats, in their mind they probably think you did it because its your "lucky seat". Think about live poker, everytime someone moves seats the fish go "oh hey boy is that your luckkkkkkky seatttt....is that where them big pockets are getting dealt?!?!"

same, i just make up some BS excuse like the 3 seat has more shoulder room, or my old seat was unlucky, etc. Then the fish agree and tell me their superstitions and everyones happy.

yeah its either the cursed seat excuse, shoulder room excuse or the can't see the cards excuse.

i accept fake table starting as long as their not the 7th guy doing it at that moment
sometimes i notice there are 5 full tables 2/4 with a fish on each one
only one 2/4 is trying is seated, but by one shortstacker
at that point im thinking: there are fish interested in 2/4 but they dont see fun tables to be at, at which point i will try to start that table
but if sharknebulah joins me or whatever i kindly deny him action

**********

Sometimes when a table is about to break and I wish to leave, rather than just click 'sit out next bb' and leave a reg with the button, I tell the player that if the next flop is black, I get to play the last button. (If the next flop is red, I will click sit out next hand after my bb). Yesterday, this exact situation went down with LueZas. (I even had two black cards in my hand for the black flop blockers!). Flop came two clubs, LueZas, took down the pot and then insta sat out and left. LueZas, you are a scumbag.

in his defence, if you said this vs me most of the time i wouldnt even read it and just sit out next bb

that will never work

this, if i was leaving. if im playing somebody i dont usually talk to i never read chat. even though muffin man and i talk at the tables pretty regularly there's probably like a 30% chance i would see this chat
