Re: HIT AND RUN SPECIALIST
[ QUOTE ]
He usually buys in pretty short (around 10 to 15 big bets). Once he doubles through he will find some excuse to change tables. Then when he buys in at the next table, he will pocket the profit and starts over. .... He often softplays when he is way out in front ... Many times he will turn his hand over to show a big hand and tell some one to "save your bet".. [/ QUOTE ] These are all strategies to fail. I don't care how good a hand reader he is, he's killing himself by playing short, and giving up bets when he's ahead. He's actively trying to win the least amount when he has a big hand. And you have no idea whether he's a winning player. You'd have to play with him for long periods and track his every session to know for sure. Since he jumps from table to table, clearly you don't. He's just been lucky at your tables and you assume he's good.

Re: HIT AND RUN SPECIALIST
Im not saying that he buys in short and dwindles away his stack. He will replenish his short stack as needed, keeping the 10 to 15 big bets in front of him (enough to play the next hand). I supose to keep his stack as low as possible and avoid unwanted attention. Another thing Ive noticed about this guy is how he can manipulate the betting. I don't know if it is his posture, voice tone, the words he speaks or all of the above. He seems to get the calls that he wants or the respect he wants at will. Have you ever met someone in your life that was simply put, "a born leader"? That's him.
Anyway my question is more about table and card room hopping. Does anyone do this profitably? I've always heard not to leave the table as long as it is still good. Good for who though? One thing I've noticed is that when someone who is playing solid gets on a good rush, other opponents often try to play better against that person, therefore they get less action. I've seen it many times. A guy will double up. The table will somewhat shut down on him. Then he will lose much of it back. By leaving when up and starting over The seafood buffet is always fresh.

Let's say he loses one hand, and drops to $120. The next hand he makes the nuts against two raising maniacs, he runs out of money on the turn. Those rare times you have a big hand you want to get paid the max. The other idea that a player can succeed leaving a table just when he's gotten a read on the players there is problematic in my mind as well.
