IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

He was HU yesterday for his 3rd Aussie Millions seat (one seat awarded, $4,750 for 2nd), with the chip lead and his opponent lost his connection and timed out. IWEARGOGGLES used his time bank to wait for the guy instead of stealing the guy's blind. The opponent eventually re-connected and lost to goggles AA a few hands later.

NH Goggles.

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

So even though the guy was timed out, he still sat there and waited for aces? Sounds very nitty!

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

was the villain someone he knew? pretty cool either way, but really impressive if the opponent was a random.

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

fkn multi-accounting scum

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

I would not wait but I respect that he does.

LOL. Anyone who wears goggles must be classy, though.

i wouldn't [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] , and that makes me feel like a lousy human being when you have people like goggles whom i applaud for this....

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

i would steal the blinds as fast as possible and i don't think it makes me a bad person. but it does tell you that goggles is really nice guy.

heh

also, while I don't think it makes you bad people, I do think it's really cheap and unethical, and I would definitely lose some respect for anyone who would do that

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

someone award this guy the nobel prize because i think there are like two people in the world who would do that, him being one of them

more like bond, guess that means the rest of us are allowed to steal the blinds all we want right?

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

To infer as to the amount of class an individual may or may not possess based solely his or her proclivity to raise a disconnected player when prompted to do so is [censored] ridiculous.

oh, and anyone who claims that they would drain their timebank for some other schmuck with a shoddy connection is either lying or delusional.

that was my first thought too, haha.

edit: also goggles is awesome obv.

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

Player dependent IMO

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

Against someone I know I would have waited.
Generally speaking though I think I would have just stole the blinds against an unknown knowing that he almost certainly would have done the same against me.

Maybe I would have the restraint to wait in most conditions, I hope I would, but I'm pretty sure in a WTA against an unknown if I was short stacked, I would be picking up the blinds in a fury.

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

How is goggles so good at poker he should really play more.

Re: IWEARGOGGLES has a lot of class
 

iv done this as well when I was HU w/ about a 4:1 chip lead. I just felt like being a nice guy.

If I was HU and it was a 1:1 tie, I'd never do this. Even 2:1 I prolly dont do this.

I did this when I 1st started playing, but they were in SNGs, I always felt bad. I dont know what I would do now, 2+ years later, but I think I would still do the same, it would just make me feel so grimy. I think a few more people than you think would do this...what a cynical outlook. It might not be many, but some.

This is really really good.


I'm impressed with Goggles doing that.
I guess I've never stopped to consider time bank implications of someone disconning. I certainly know I'd take max time on all decisions trying to get him back- but the timebank issue is another step I really hadn't considered.

I know I wouldnt be rushing to pillage the blinds. And I hope there would be times where it was a no brainer to drain it heads up because there are less factors to consider for any future given hand.
I guess I'd probably email support asking for a tourney pause until he got back (within reason) if that was allowed.


Well done Goggles.

But if it happened to me, and my best friend was on the other end, I would not fault him at all for rapid stealing.
