$100 6 seater sit n go. Etiquette

mildly interesting thing happened earlier, there was 3 players left and one of the players was sat out, so obviously i was shoving every hand as the chip leader taking all the dead money, the guy that was sitting out had chipped down from 1000 to 155 and the blinds were 75/150.

Now chipping keeping the 'sitting out guy' in the game to get the other player shorter didnt really work this time. Am i wrong to do this?

i love it

Nothing ethically wrong with this imo...The elpy guy could have (and perhaps should have) been shoving all of his buttons to get some of the dead money as well, as you really couldn't call him light, as your dominating position has more edge then flipping/semi flipping against him.

obv nothing is wrong with it. I hate his shove a lot. dont like your call either lol

etiquette for taking somebodys money?
oh yerr

standard.

lol obviously you should do this

I would fold 44 tho, his push range should dominate yours

lol that's hilarious, never thought of this before. If he just wants to fold his way into the money then fuck em. He chose not to take any dead money before, can't complain when he becomes the dead money.

lol.. fun stuff

44 is the nuts here.

also, op, whats the purpose of folding a7?

given stacks, folding is probably criminal?!?!?!?

yeah i don't quite understand the strategy of folding the first hand, what is the advantage of him staying in the tournament?

By keeping the sitting out guy in it should narrow the other players range enabling you to continue to play aggressive and steal the other players blinds. The other player will not want to 'gamble it up' with the risk of finishing 3rd when he can just blind out the sitter for a guaranteed 2nd place.

The player who isn't sitting out can't call robinson's shoves, so robinson can chip away at his stack because if he calls and loses, he'll get 3rd place instead of 2nd.
