Default Sitting out morons

Two points one of which I would like clarification on.

1. On Stars when you see a player is “sitting out” can this also mean he has been disconnected?

2. There are lots of players that use “sitting out” as some kind of idiotic strategy as far as I can tell. If suddenly they sit back immediately after a bet then beware they normally have picked up a monster and are back to play. It is so transparent I am wondering if my observation is fair here?

I'm totally confused about this point, I must be misunderstanding something. Are you somehow relating when they sit in to what cards they are then dealt?

Sorry, what I meant was that I see a number of players that are "sitting out" for a few circuits of hands. Then suddenly when they "re-appear" they have a very good hand at that particular point in time. It is as though they must be sitting there waiting for a hand before hitting the "I am back" button.

I think he's talking about people who are shown as "Sitting Out" in MTTs or SNGs. They still get dealt cards, and they can play them as long as they click "Sit In" before it is their turn to act.

You need to find something else to think about fella, this is irrelivent if it is a strategy, and a crappy strategy at that.

Yes it is crappy, that was my point. Thanks for your wonderful insight. I can see why you have such a big post count now.

Well, by my rough calcs i average 4.2 posts a day. Not exactly huge.

My point still stands, this thread is basically pointless and you need to look at the bigger picture instead of concentrating on people trying to gain an advantage by sitting out or whatever.

OP has point.
I doubt most are sitting out as part of a strategy, but when a player has been sitting out, comes back and plays his first hand, then be aware. Good chance villain has a hand.

I sit out when I am sitting on the john to take a crap. Sometimes I sit out when I have to pee.
