Message: [QUOTE="JesssRabbit, post: 299140, member: 2028"] [b]Sitting out is a strategy like any other..[/b] I learned to play hold'em online at Ulitimate Bet by playing in their (not far fewer than used to be) freerolls. Eventually I got good enough at it to begin placing in the money with pretty good frequency and even won a couple here and there. When you are playing for something like a TEC chip and you have a commanding enough lead, sitting out is actually the only sensible thing to do unless you are "going for bragging rights" (something I've done and lost my way out of the money a time or two before I got smart). "In the money" is all it takes when the same prize is issued for the top X players in a tourney. Those who manage to solidify their positions strongly enough to know that they need play no more would be silly to put their prize at risk. Sitting out in that case is the most sensible of strategies and to be angry about it or feel as though you (assuming you are fighting tooth and nail to get into the money) are being "done out" of your chance is silly. You've had your chance, your bite at the apple.. they made it to the promised land and as the point is to win the prize, why should they bother giving you a shot at taking away what they've already earned? The last rounds of tourneys are always a made scramble for the last 10 qualifying places. We've all "been there done that", or if you haven't then you most assuredly will if you continue to play and grow your skills. And, when you do get there, unless you want those bragging rights badly enough to rick your ticket into an Arruba tourney for free, you'll sit out too. Just my 2 bits.. J. Rabbit ;) [/QUOTE]
