options for single tabling only?
I'm curious as to why there is no option to play in a sng where players are not allowed to multitable? Do you think that option would fly? Is that something anyone else would like to see or is it just me?
I'd like it because I cannot count the amount of times a "bingo" player (as I refer to someone running a gazillion tables) has just shoved his chips in the middle after a raise hoping for the best and indeed sucking out. I think if it were just single table players, the play would be different.
The other reason I would like it for time reasons. I hate waiting when the option comes to the multitablers

Cause too many players would just slit their wrists.
Seriously, it would not stop the bingo players. Shove/Pray/Miss move to the next sng and it would seriously cut into a site's profit.
re configure your understanding of what poker is.....
you don't lose buyins when you bust with the best hand to a donkey...you win....if those people weren't there you would have a lower roi than what you have now....
Based on the OP I understand you feel that multitablers generally play worse and play pots that are marginal to -ev....
i read this as "MWUA HAHA HAHA HAHA HA"
I'm no online poker guru and don't really have a deep understanding of the game as many of you do, so these are just my general thoughts and may seem silly and maybe even naive to some of you but...
not that they play worse but I personally have a tough time figuring out where I am in a hand when I raise a BB from 50 to 150 and get shoved at with another 1400. Am I in a race situation with my 9-9 or am I up against a tiny pocket pair or a monster? Maybe I am completely wrong but I would think someone who doesn't have 15 tables open, is paying a bit more attention to the game and may just re-raise rather than just shove and move to the next table.
I understand that a re-raise is a re-raise, and that I'd still be faced with the same questions if someone repopped to say 400 but at least I'd still have some fightin chips back if I decide to make the call and see what happens post flop.
Am I completely out of touch or does some of it make a little bit of sense?
We give him a 'random' profile:
We know sometimes randoms do this with the best hands JJ+, AQ+
We suspect 99 and TT are in his range often too
We know he could be spew and sometimes have a random hand bad hand.....including tiny pairs or anything.
without the spew we are 60/40 against if we add some odd hands we'll still feel were slightly behind....
so the math and ranges might be hokey, but its gonna be a clear fold even if you play with it....
if you do the math and youre ahead....snap it and don't watch the streets!
then post the hh and ask about the ranges and pokerstove math.
Coverserly.....if hes jamming when you have nines then theres a higher chance hell jam when you have aces....so by not adjusting you win....don't move.
you can also fold easy too because as soon as you see him jam with that size stack you know he will make big mistakes postflop...so fold...note him...and get into small pots with him and see what happens.

Based on your post I assume this is the kind of situation your talking about. Bingo players shoving random trash or a -ev situation in your opinion. Correct?
If so, I'll explain our differences.
If not, ignore me I misinterpreted the OP.
Im not joking when I say I think you would really enjoy limit poker far better than NL. I think you enjoy street poker and the analytical side of it, rather than always being forced to make a decision for your stack - and being busto if youre wrong or get unlucky.
Well said.
Also FL online is so full of dead money. Especially when I'm at the table.
They have a option already, it's called player search.;)
