My opinion about the whole sitout situation is to kick only people that don't show up in the first lets's say 10 minutes.
1.) One guy showed up in a timely manner and played and got busted in 11th place (10 places paid).
2.) This guy forgot to show up and just remained sitout for the whole time, but managed to win the 10th place prize.
Well, what if a player shows up on time and isn’t sitting out, but folds every hand except AA? Or folds every hand altogether? Should he be kicked out too?
After all, that’s no different from someone who slept through the tournament.
As you can see,
the whole idea is completely pointless, which is why it’s never implemented anywhere. You can just keep folding all the time.------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, I think in the next Casinopunks everyone will be stalling like crazy. That’s the issue with these kinds of tournaments — when there are few participants, the prizes are equal, and you just need to make it to the money.
