G'day,
1 problem I have with 888 is the fact that a dead stack can win a hand, It gets frustrating when they can stay in for 3/4 orbits "sometimes more" when they are not @ the Table. I think if you are sitting out you should not be able to win any chips.
cheers [_])

Re: Dead Stacks
The way I see if, you've paid to enter, so you've paid to win hands. Even if you're not there.
Also, you person might actually be sitting there
Even though, it says they were away.

Re: Dead Stacks
It doesn't happen live so why should it be different for online games, If a player isn't in their seat they cannot win the pot.

Unfortunately mate this happens on all sites, all the time, everywhere, forever and will no doubt continue to happen.

Can't play rush poker in real life, either.
They aren't the same.

So if you're in front of your computer, and you have "away" on, you can't win - even though you're sitting there?
