[Benholio]

Against an unknown player I will most likely go ahead and take the blinds, unless I was playing at a buy-in that isn't significant to me. I did have this happen once when heads-up at a 6-7 man tourney against an opponent that I had been playing with and chatting with all day, and I ran out my clock each hand until he returned (we were both doing empire MTT runs for VIP points). I have to have a reason of some sort to do this though, normally I would just take the blinds.
