I am sitting in a game and decide to sit out so I can take a break. I come back, and click back in. When the button moves, I click "wait for big blind".
Now I think this of course means that when the BB comes around it will alert me to pay the BB. OH HELL NO it doesn't mean that! What is means is the next hand they dump you from the table. No warning, nothing. No Hi, Bye, kiss my A$$; just poof!
THIS IS BULLCRAP.
I have told support about this before ... 3 years ago; guess the programmers are too busy trying to figure out how to get SNGs off the tourney tab to fix this "issue".

| next time keep track of how long you are away from the table. you're only alotted a certain amount of time away from the table, before you are removed. even though you returned, since you decided not to post your bb, you're essentially sitting out until the BB gets back to you. in that time, your sitting out timer had gone off and it removed you from the table, as you were still infact sitting out and not playing a hand. |

Well duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks a lot for that little bit of info. I never knew that. Oh wait yeah I did. You must have missed the point of my complaint.
And NO I was NOT sitting out the BB, I was waiting for it to come around (which in this case was the next hand, in others 2 or more). The rules say the BB must pass you (ie be sitting out when it goes by your position) before you get booted.
At least that is what I think they say as they are impossible to find, thanks FTP. If I had "essentially" not paid it then why wait till the blind comes around to kick me off? YOU GET IT YET? |

Tonight I sat out for one round, then clicked "wait for BB" and half way around, it kicks me off.

Click the "Edit" tab.
Uncheck SnGs.
Profit.
That was tough... |

we have already been through that.
SNGs DO NOT BELONG ON THE TOURNEY TAB. Oh yea, and it's useless unless you use the CUSTOM view all the time, which few do. |

You are being ignorant. Byam answered your question perfectly. Obviously if you did know what he said, you wouldn't be complaining here. When your 10 minutes is up, it's up. Thats why you were kicked off. The bb "passing" you has nothing to do with anything. As long as you are not being dealt cards, whether you are sitting out or not, you are considered to be away from the table. |
