he quits people after taking most of their money if they get below 5 bbs and if they cant reload.

its absolutely horrible etiquette, like one of the worst things to do IMO. "hey i just won 2k from you but im not gonna play you for your last 200 because it comes down a lot more luck"

i guess if you only care about EV then quitting in this case is probably a good idea... but i mean, it just seems soooo wrong to me. its something that you definitely wouldnt do live, or else you would seem like a huge [censored], but people do it online all the time.

I'm not 100% sure but i think mntbkr is corrrect on this one. The math is on the side of the 5bb player.

Bryce once mentioned somethin like this...
maybe he could chime in;.

I HAVE watched many HU specialists..and many dont do this.

Maybe its just me, I get pretty tilted when there 5 BB starts to turn into more on BS hands. Perhaps if you can handle it the math works out....but I cant imagine its not close

I don't do it because if someone did it to me I would be really upset. It may be neutral ev but to me it's incredibly unsporting to stop playing at that point.

As long as the 5BB player won't quit until they are bust, the other player has an edge, and the rake is small, the winning player is favored. You have to factor in the future +EV situations you will gain if the small stack play favors the 5BB player.

I dont have a problem with it in this sense because the one who cant reload are the ones who were gonna take 5 BB from me and leave

Yeah but they also probably lose money playing poker overall.

I hate getting hit and run but I've come to terms with it. I think a losing player has every right to do it, I also think he should be able to play down to his last bbs.

they can't because mr_g is willing to play hopp and hopp is not willing to play mr_g. so really hopp is doing this to mr_g as well. though i still feel 100% that it's a dick move and i take hopp's side 100 per cent.

They can and they do at Full Tilt. He's not allowed to do it and Full Tilt has told him as much. Once he does it just take a screenshot of him squatting at a bunch of your tables and they'll take care of it.

Back to this issue for a sec.
It's obviously not just a matter of "he'll play you but you won't play him." It's way more than that. He's following him to every single table he's on. He has a right to decline to not play that guy without being stalked or shut-out of practically every game on the site.

If they don't stop heads-up 'stalkers' like this then essentially you end up with a situation where they are chasing each other around from table to table which is ridiculous.

And indeed FT has done something about this in the past. If a guy is sitting on 6 HU tables and doesn't want to play Mr.G then Mr.G shouldn't be allowed to take up the seat on all 6 of that players tables as some weird form of revenge or shutting-out.

This is not true.

i never used to do it cuz i always considered it kind of [censored] up to just quit someone and leave them with less than a buy in especially after a long session or if im up a lot, but then i lost 280k in 45 min and learned my lesson about playing people with 5bb
