How many NL hands must you play to not be an a-hole?

OK. You sit down at a table. You win your first hand and double up. How many more hands must you play before getting up to officially not be an a-hole? Please elaborate on any factors that influence this number.

it's a sliding scale.

i'd say a round or so, pay the blinds and then bounce. Of course, normally I would only do this trippling up or so because doubling just gives a funstack to play with.

I am surpised you do not know the equation:

{BB^2 - (number of players + empty seats)} / (sb^4 - avg. rake) = Number of hands before a-hole status.

Sorry Matt, no sliding scale. I thought you were a coach... sheesh [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I would say playing one hand is pretty poor form, but this is the internet. If people don't like it they should just stop playing with you, stonewall you, or do it back to you.

I think it's.. amount of hands played where player isn't [censored] is equal to number of hands where player donates money to complaining players or something silly like that.

I was going to say zero, until I saw the other thread. Now my answer is zero.

Diablo played played hands then.

There is nothing in the poker rules that prevents you from leaving after one hand as far as I know

[Matt Flynn]

this is just a subproof of the Dirac equation. it is obvious.
