    Default Win a Big Pot and then...Vanish?

    at uNL, I frequently see players do a Keyser Soze after winning a big pot.

    is this just a coincidence, or part of some cunning bankroll management strategy that i'm not yet aware of?

    Maybe they don't feel comfortable playing deepstacked.
    Or they just want to quit while they are ahead.

    Yeah you see fish hit & run all the time. I think some of them were just waiting to win that last pot to give themselves permission to go to bed or something.

    Try not to let it tilt you. it happens a lot

    the only times you will see me do this are:
    A - when i'm big blind next hand and i was planning to quit next BB anyway
    B - if i took the pot from a fish who quit and the table conditions post-fish are pretty un-favourable (for example, two deep-stacked, highly competent regs to my left)

    I love the "cunning" part. Its more like a "cunting" bankroll management, because its mostly performed by cunts, or as we like to politely say: vaginas.
    Let me explain this to you. You win a big pot at the table, by a valid hand, huge suckout or something else. But you are a huge pussy. And you are now really scared that player who you took pot from will push you around and try to fuck with you. And because you are such a cunt you decide to leave the table.

    What you want to do next (if you lost a hand vs that guy and he ran away) is to browse all other tables until you find him, join on all tables where he plays and fuck him up.


    I had a moneybox ratholer like that once. While 20-50bb tables on Pstars were in. Chinese shortstack, super predictable. Steals wide from SB, BU and CO by raising for 3BB. A minimal 3bet was enough to make him fold or jam. And he folded like 80-90% of time. Big profits. I always joined tables and took position on him. Took him more then a week to catch on. Then he left any table as soon as I joined anywhere.

    I dont think its that big of a deal..there are many reasons why people do that. Some people just dont play well when they are chip leader.

    I actually have problems playing with more money on the table. I seam to be a much looser player when i have more money then when i dont have any at all. By playing deep into a table, i find myself more likely to force action. Because of this, I usually leave tables once I double my buy in. I know its just a temporary fix for my problem, but it actually helps my overall progression in bankroll.

    This is only made worse when the aggro donk to your left sucks out on you for a stack and the next hand loses it all to a ratholer that splits with your money. Just happened like 10min ago.

    Happened to me yesterday too! Luckily the fish stuck around, reloaded and lost his stack to me about 20 mins later.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. Seeing how strong of a reaction it gets I'm thinking it could be a viable strategy just to get a tilting fish to follow you to another table.

    I've noticed midstakes HU regs do something similar. They would go play lowstakes FR and just donk around in the worst way possible in the hopes that someone would look them up and follow them to their HU table.

    All is fair in love and war. Don't judge, be nice, seek happiness.
