It is really irritating when players chose to autofold after getting in a table. Can Full Tilt set a timer so if a player is on auto fold for more than a certain amount of time--say five minutes--they would be removed from the table. Many players set to auto fold and just wait til they are "in the money" and then play. This is not fair to those who play the whole time. For sure, those players should not get paid.

Not much you can do. If someone wants to sit out that's his or her right. Maybe play tight to outlast the people sitting out, that's pretty much all you can do.

Also, raise their BB.

while I'm not a fan of that strategy, why does it bother you so much? just play your game and beat them. I'd be happy to take their money every couple of rounds. Just don't let it get under your skin, and let it throw you off your game. You should be playing for 1st. They are obviously happy with playing for 3rd.

Would you be against it if they weren't auto folding but still didn't play a single hand? Just consider them super-rocks - too tight to even play AA.

3catlady, you meant cash games, right?

in tourneys, I agree with the super-rock philosophy--if you pay the entry fee, you have the right to fold every hand, whether you're sitting there or not.
