 |
|
While playing a token SNG yesterday there was a player sitting out. He just gets blinded out and that's fine. Until he's all in. Then his hand plays out and if he gets lucky and wins he stays in the tourney. At EVERY casino I've been to the players hand is declared dead whether they are all in or not. Some casinos it was after one card was dealt to them, some after two cards dealt, and some waited until the action got around to that player. Either way their hand is always declared dead. If they are absent while they're all in that's their own fault. This player ended up sucking out numerous times and "earning" a $26 token without playing one hand. I think this is crazy. The other online sites also will muck their cards automatically even if they're all in.
I think this is a feature Full Tilt should adopt. |

| I agree, I think that is a good idea. I had that situation happen in a game I played and the person won like 4 all-ins in a row. |

The fantasy freeroll tournaments were like this, except out of 900 people maybe 300 showed up to play.
My best finish I went through 2 tables of stealing blinds before playing a hand. I was at 23K before seeing a flop. LOL. |

Not this again...
Look... if the guy isn't there, you have no one to blame for him winning than yourselves... He paid his entry fee just like everyone else, and can play anyway he wants to... |
