Again, you show your true colors.
Problem #1 - Post and Fold. Wednesday night a player sits out far more than the required 15 hands where you are eliminated for inactivity, and they linger at the table. Thursday night, after 15 hands a sitter was booted. Tonight, again the sitter lingers at the table for far more than 15 hands of inactivity and isn't booted. And won a big blind hand with 4 queens and got to linger more. Finally booted after a second set of 15 inactive hands. I love it when a site can't even follow their own rules.
Problem #2 - Feeding. Yes, I noticed the way that the 2000+ chips leader called the lowest stack on the river - with a 6-2 and lots of high cards on the table. Didn't even have a pair. Even if you think the guy is bluffing, it might be reasonable to assume that he has a card higher than a six in his hole cards. And "might be reasonable" is a strong assumption since Mr. Low stack won a ton of hands in a row off of Mr. Ex-chip leader. And the whole 1 hour and 15 minute tournament continued with the same pattern of feeding the low stack by calling when you shouldn't.
Finally, after my paltry two winners stack and the blinds being big, and getting bored of the bs hand was decent I went all in...and naturally ex-Mr. Low Stack now Mr. Chip Leader called with his 9-2 off suit and beat beat me.
I am close to the edge of qualifying for the Sunday tournament. So the result tonight was far from a big surprise. As always, it's not about playing to win, it's about playing to make me lose.
Problem #3 - As always with this site - there's no such thing as having a good run of cards and being the chip leader and cruising to a spot in the top three. If you don't want to play short stacked after the first five hands, don't even bother.
