Message: [QUOTE="NvrBlufn, post: 2236958, member: 100286"] The beginning of this discussion (ridiculously enough) had to do with timing your bathroom breaks so that you can leave the table without missing value from your big hands and most profitable positions. What is included in that is the concept of the blinds, being as how they weigh heavily on your hourly win rate. At most casino card rooms you cannot just leave your chips at a seat while you go pee, have a smoke, or hit the blackjack table. Maybe a super high roller in his own private game can do that, but most of us here can not. What will happen is as the blinds pass your chair the dealer puts out a missed Bb/Sb chip in front of your stack and either deals you out or deals a dead hand. When you return you must pay the table for all of those missed blinds, they go into the next pot and they go into the rake and nobody else at the table has to pay more to play the next hand. Therefore it is not KILL. If I come back and post triple blinds and look down to see aces I would not necessarily be ecstatic, like someone else has said. But this may not be a bad thing either because your aggression here looks like you just want to win your missed blinds back and you can get action. I hope this is making sense from my point of view. If you leave the table you risk having somebody sit down at your seat. If you care most about keeping you spot at the table then leave immediately after folding your button hand. :vroam: For those that want to play most of their late-position hands (or at least see them, like me!) I think the rest of this discussion still applies. Oh, and as for picking up your chips, well it doesn't prove anything exactly. I view it as a courtesy to myself and the rest of the table. The situations where I stated I might pick up the chips are when you are at a tight table with very little action (therefore blinds move around fast) or in an uncrowded game where you can easily return to your seat when you are ready (forget about all the time pressure to get back to your seat). You don't want to race back to the table just to overplay some hand and go Busto! [/QUOTE]
