Sitting out ,do you try to steal chips ?

[Wrathchild]

I've found in a lot of MTTs where people sit out the first half it's pretty easy to steal blinds. I've played so many games where it is basically heads-up or three-handed because of all the people doing that. I'm not mad at it. You're only helping me if I have less people to worry about when playing in a hand preflop.

But the min raise rule is really important because one I went all in but the guy next to me was suddenly online

 

[Savantino]

This is the best thing that happens in poker)))

When you see a player sitting out in the big blind do you try to steal his chips by bluffing?

Of course I don’t steal chips from the big blind, and I pass pocket aces, and I don’t ever bluff at all See you at the table

 

[Jim_Saras]

I think everybody is doing that! It's common sence

 

[StealTheButton]

People pick up on this and will try to resteal your chips when you raise

 

[ekgbeat]

Yes, I will play very marginal hands if the big is out. Usually, others are a bit more aggressive so it doesn't always end well, but you have to take advantage if you are in position.

 

[1KrazyMofo]

yes steal the chips, and in that happens alot in freerolls that a lot of in-active players.

I often reg freebies and leave them just because if I know theres a chance to get free money from others busting first.

Raising to fold a sitting out player is the saner thing to do. But, we can only find it in freerolls. Sitting out in MTTs is really rare.

That is not bluffing, that is just taking of dead chips

Sitting out

I would rather steal chips than sit out take advatage of every oppertunity.

 

[MsUniverse]

I personally do not, but I like to play for time.

 

[CSLysander]

If they are just sitting out, it is not stealing. They are wanting to game the system and so are you.

 

[ADRI7HO]

Unfortunately, this is part of online poker. If another player is in a similar situation he would do the same with my chips.

 

[moularaki]

stealing chips is normal when you play poker
You need to do it in order to survive and build a stack

 

[Liedust]

Allways...like all player do.

 

[maxmaster10]

of course!...easy to take BB

 

[ivanlt18]

Usually in most tables most people go jam when BB is sitting out, so I usually stick to my play and don't limp in or raise if I don't have a good hand.

 

[samsonand]

I don't always try but when there is an opportunity, because if I do it in my strategies, I always see the best opportunities to take advantage of those

 

[ItsThePits]

Definitely.
I even try to convince others to do the same.

 

[popstani]

Nothing bad if I try to steal, but I’m trying not to be to greedy. I do that with hands that have good playability if someone calls my raise.

 

[fefibecerra]

All the time, I don't see a reason not to try it.

 

[tomk7788]

Should you steal chips from someone sitting out? Is the pope Catholic? Oh wait, I don't think he is but yes you should happily steal from someone sitting out.

 

[Zeke67]

War

Of course!! If they are sitting out I will always be paying attention and steal their money whenever I can. That’s what it’s all about.
