pistonbroke Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just won the vroll satelite The HU play went back and forth a few times Then when it was about 25% to 75% in my opponents favour he got disconnected. I stole his blinds and he came back at about 70 30 ish to me he pushed i called and won Am i a complete bastard ? should i have run the clock down to give him more of a chance to reconnect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattywallace121 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Re: do i steal the blinds I always think, would anyone wait for you? Chances are no so fcuk em. Obviously if its someone you know, or say someone off here then yes, id just fold my small blind every time until they came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spannerjago Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Re: do i steal the blinds Only steal if they're Polish. ;-) No seriously, take it and run. I think in a PL game I'm waiting and also any decent game HU with a PLer but the V roll has a brutal blind structure so I'm even stealing my Grans blinds and moving on to the next game.

muttley Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Re: do i steal the blinds There's an article in this months Poker Player Magazine on this very subject. One guy argues for and one guys argues against. Having read the article I would say steal, unless it's someone you know, and don't whinge when someone does it to you!

muttley Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Re: do i steal the blinds In the article, Richard Hawes (pro-stealing) makes the valid point that when the blinds are low the better player has an edge. By waiting for a player to reconnect he is forfeiting some of that edge. David Tighe (anti-stealing) says that if your opponent in a live game asked to go to the toilet, and the TD said no, then he would wait for him to return, so he would afford the same courtesy to a player who had disconnected. Actually, I'm probably stealing from the bloke in the bog too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Re: do i steal the blinds At one time I would have against an unknown opponent, but know I'm a budhist it's a big no no for me. It's all about the Karma baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
