I had a friend who liked to play the "Let's see who can slap the other guy in the face harder" game. He would always go first and the quit. I would cry like a girl and then whine to all my friends.

Interestingly enough (and having little to do with the original post here), I recently came up with a good way to deal with habitual hit-and-runners.

There is a really annoying guy on a site I play on who literally plays sessions of a few hands at a time. That is, he sits with you, and if he wins the first 2 hands or so, he runs. Then he'll come back an hour later and do the same. If he starts out losing, he'll stay, but he'll leave the second he gets slightly ahead of you. He'll also make sure to take the button before quitting.

This would already be annoying under any circumstances, but the guy was getting hit in the face with the deck, and got ahead of me in the first few hands (and left) for 10 consecutive sessions. You can imagine the frustration I felt. Even when I'd be dealt something like KK or AA, he'd manage to outdraw it and run.

Worst yet, the guy is completely arrogant about what he's doing. If you dare complain about his running, he taunts you about "whining so much" or makes some other nasty comment.

At first I thought the solution was to simply stop playing the guy, or just to wait for him to stop running so hot and get him stuck big. Then I realized a better solution.

Being the one sitting first, I would get the button first. I decided I would play the button against him and leave. I did that, then moved to another table. He followed me, so I did it again, and moved back to the first table. A few minutes later, he sat back with me again. Once again, I played the button and left. I don't know if he's gotten the message yet, but I plan to keep playing him this way until he stops sitting with me.

Normally I would find the above to be unethical, but I think it's perfect medicine when dealing with a notorious hit-and-runner.

I don't feel that you necessarily "owe" your heads-up opponent anything, but you should never sit with someone heads up without the intention of actually playing out a real match. That is, if you don't plan upon devoting 20 minutes to a heads up match, you shouldn't sit in the first place.
