Default Re: Poor etiquette to ask people to reload

I ask them to reload. If they don't want to, I don't play them. It'd be ruder to just sitout & leave.

I'm not going to play push/fold w someone who has 7 BB. Its not fun, and its a waste of my time.

Is this common in all h/u play? I really would find this very offensive and never give any of you guys action. Do you give them a little while to reload or just immediatly sit out and ask them to reload?

I dont play h/u a lot but if I lose a big pot and it brings me to a short stack a lot of times I will play just a few hands ss and then reload.

Is this an acceptable practice amongst the h/u pros or in nosebleeds?

Then you are a fish. Full stacks maximize your equity, plain and simple. When you get it all in with AA and only have 43 BB's you are gonna be pissed you hadnt clicked reload the hand before.

However, I do play if my opponent has 40 BB.

I also think it is classless. Would this happen if it were live? I understand it is your right and you can choose to do so, but so is somebody asking to see me hand after showdown when I try to muck. This makes me want to beat the [censored] out of people who do that.

I can understand that but I am getting the impression that some feel anybody w/o a full stack is short stack

It's retarded, it's classless, and it's completely senseless. Either you're good enough to win or you're not. Stop acting like a pussy.

Wow some of you are so retarded. Especially this guy with the worst analogy ever.

If they are above 60 BB, you really should be able to let it go. There is nothing wrong with asking them to reload. Instead of saying "reload plz" which could be considered offensive say "Would you please reload, I dont like playing people who are this short". Bottom line, if someone doesn't want to reload the other can just leave. And if someone asks you to reload and you don't want to, then same rules apply.

BMWguy525, please stop posting. You are retarded and just flat out annoying. 2p2 needs less douchebags like you. That is all.

I always ask when playing HU. I don't think it's classless and I'd rather play someone with 100BBs or close to 100BBs. I can tolerate 40-50BBs, but any lower its not worth it. If they refuse I quit on them. And if they think I'm hit and running that's their problem for not reloading.

Are you two gonna explain to me how it's a bad analogy or did you just see the words "bad analogy" in another thread and decide that it sounded good here??
