I've noticed this alot on Absolute and just a bit on sites that I play. People loggin on and making 20-30% then leaving. I have a very short list of people that I have been keepign track of. With the limited amount of full ring games is this a decent strategy? Getting out before the table falls apart and waiting again for a full table? What the books say is that if its a good game keep playing. But these people are on the table for less than 1/2 hour hit one or two hands and then poof.

I don't get it. How do you know these people don't just like to play short sessions, or that they're leaving because they got reads on people at the table and don't want to play there?

[Shoe]

Are you keeping track of the people that sit down, lose 1 or 2 big hands in a half hour, and then poof as well?

[timprov]

I do this on Absolute quite a bit, largely because my health often prevents me from playing decent-length sessions. I have a lot of those two- or three-round sessions, then a break.

[grouchie]

how long do those same players play if they don't win 20-30%?

how long are they staying when they are losing or just breaking even.

I've always figure'd that it is someone with a shorter bankroll and when they've won so much they want to make sure they keep some/most of it so they go to another table where they can buy in for their original again and not have to have all that extra money sitting on the table.

Sometimes real life gets in the way and you just cut a session short. As someone else mentioned, they might also leave because the game is rockish (as it so often is at Absolute).

If it's on NL tables perhaps they are playing Millers short stack strategy?
