Does hit and run poker bug you?

Question

I've recently gotten into the habit of sitting down at an online 2-4 or 3-6 FL table, waiting for the BB, and then playing ultra-tight until I win one decent hand. Then I leave, and use the profit to buy into a single table s'n'g. I'm much better at tournaments than cash games. My profit is usually around $20, and it rarely takes me more than 15 minutes to hit it. As soon as I've got it I'm gone. Does this sort of thing bother you when you see it happen? I know people who DESPISE hit and run players, but that's supposed to be the beauty of playing online. You can come and go as you please. I'm just curious, although I really don't care, if I'm pi$$ing other players off. Serious opinions are welcome.

Answer 1

You can make more money of you find a bad table and stay at it,  but I'd rather have them just leave than sit there and not play a hand so people won't complain about it

Answer 2

That sounds like a great idea.  s***w the other players, it's all about making the cash!

Answer 3

I play against guys like you all the time. Yes, most of the time you hit a hand and then leave. In certain cases, if you encounter a bad beat or lose a big hand, you lack the patience to sit at the table and re-coup your losses. That is where players like you lack poker discipline and then you go on tilt and lose more. Even worse, if you are a bad player, then really what you describe is the ONLY way you will EVER make money.

No, it does not bother me at all. In fact, I do that too if I make over $50 in one hand. I just buy beer and pizza and call it a day.

Quitwork on Pokerstars and Full Tilt is me.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

The real question is, if you are making $20 every 15 minutes...why leave the room at all?

Answer 6

Not at all - you are in it to win it. Why would you stay to give people "a chance to win their money back"?  All's fair in love and gambling.

Answer 7

Who gives a ****? Their just being sore loser tight asses with their money. There's nothing about that against the rules and people need to stop complaining about everything.

Answer 8

Hit-n-run poker is for cowards and is so annoying

Answer 9

Honestly, it doesn't bug me at all. I do it sometimes, although not all the times. In my opinion, 'hit and run' actually decreases the chance of wining (for me anyway). I prefer to stay in one table, observe how others play and then get at them. Different people have different style i guess.

Answer 10

Yes, the donkeys that continuously call you do get angry.

Think long term. Don't make them quit.
