Re: Absolute Poker - Please Send If You Agree
If doing this is in direct violation of the site's rules, then you have a point. I rarely play NL except on two smaller sites: one enforces such a rule per your wishes (30 min window) and the other does not.
If this isn't a violation of Absolute's rules, I don't think this effects the integrity of the game. What these players are doing is then entirely within the rules of the site and in no way is dishonest play.
You may not LIKE the play, but that doesn't mean the play is reflective of a moral degenerate any more than check-raising or betting out on a board that has a straight-flush on it to try and get another player to fold.
You have every right to try to persuade Absolute Poker to change their policies, but phrasing your protest in absurd terms like yours won't get you anywhere.
You run the risk in poker of each hand being an event unto itself. There are no guarantees you will have a chance to win "your" money back. It's not your money anymore anyhow.
If you think a player is particularly poor at the game, wouldn't you rather he buy-in again rather than leaving the site for the day? Or should there be a rule wherein a player who doubles up off you can't leave the table for a while either?
