Saw this on a P.Stars cash game and thought amusing.

I am not a cash game player by general rule, but once in a while I like to try it.
Was looking for a game the other night at micro level at Poker Stars and one table looked interesting so joined the waiting list of 2, me being number 2. Decided to watch the play and try to gauge the players.
A short time later, one player quit and the player before me joined the game. This table seemed to be playing good poker until the newbie (from Russia) came on and started jamming everytime his full stack. Anyway, after the 4th or 5th attempt, players who had been enjoying a very good game started to sit out until the whole table apart from the newbie sat out. With no one left to bet against, he left the table allowing me a seat and slowly the players seeing that I was there to play poker started to sit in and play again.
I have never seen this before, and thought it a very amusing way of saying to the guy, get lost, we are not intersted in playing your game.

sittin in

I have seen similar instances. One time I even thought it was happening to me. Another comes to mind quite different. I was sitting in a low stake game and someone sat in, going all in ever time, rebuying upon a loss. Thought he had some money. They must have done that about thirty times, believe me no one was sitting out.

I'm playing a lot of zoom an cash lately and I've never seen that either.
The only thing I've seen is that in zoom people lie more than usual. At the least on the tables that Ive been. U see unexplicables and stupid raises and re raises with nothing at all!!

Those Russians seem to play crazy at the table and especially Romanians. I guess they have a ton of money to play like that but really dont know. I guess they think its more like the lottery than anything.

Ive seen it a lot and is why I hate micro stakes. The higher the stakes the better the play gets. 25-50 cents is my minimum.

Yep true, either that or too scared of getiing sucked out on.

I myself would prefer to wait and shove with a premium, and not worry about the end result. These guys are the cash machines :)

There is a site that is no longer open to US customers that was almost all Russians. It was completely nuts.
