the 'sit out trick' on PokerStars - Page 2 - MTT Poker Strategy

I have sent a long hate-mail to PS about taking Rafael Nadal as a pro, telling them that a doped up sissy, who fakes unjuries left and right when he gets beat up, is a terrible ambassador for the game...
They answered that Nadal's fake-injuries whenever he gets beat up are within the rules, kind of a strategy, just as sitting out in a game on PS, then sitting back in to reraise...

I don't care about the sit-out thing at all, but Rafael Nadal is the nut-low, and should never have been hired, in the first place. Disgusting human being, he is.

You should tell everyone about Hud, runitonce or holdemresources as well, Some may not know about them.

the only "trick" I can think of is people sitting out in the blinds for example, someone raises in late position to steal with a wide range, then they sit back in and punish them.....not much of a trick

why would they change their priority list at the drop of the hat because a low volume player posted on an internet forum? Im assuming its not overwhelming arrogance, just curious

Should be changed. The way it is you can avoid tables, extend time until next bigblind if utg, utg+1 and mp. Besides that it is way easier to get seated with your friends and then play as a team.

i bet most people that LOL in this thread or try to play it down are using it as an angle on others.

ps should change it imo. they should also check their databases which players were using it and take apropriate actions.

I got private off the record confirmation in Isle of Man that somewhere in the recent past that PokerStars discovered that this 'sit out trick' IS a real thing. There are regs out there exploiting this and gaining a big edge on the rest of us. I was also told that for some unknown reason this is not currently the top priority MTT issue at PokerStars but that if I made it public it could quickly become the #1 priority and the loophole would hopefully be closed ASAP.

I'm not going to go into details as to how the trick works or what it does because no one deserves to have this kind of edge of everyone else.

great, thanks for the headsup...

This is actually interesting and I'd never heard about it. Absolutely will be using it as needed. Thanks for the heads up.

Cos I'm guessing a bunch of people will work it out and then start doing it and then it will become a bigger problem
