    my guess is they bought in, went to do something else waiting for others and just didn't get back yet.

    I'd rather have them sit out than time down every hand. Count yourself lucky if you find some considerate ones.

    1. Forgot about SNG.
    2. Lost connection
    3. Some weird strategy to let you get all the loose action early because they don't want to risk any chips & go busto. Sitting out is the ultimate nit approach to early blinds. Pots are small & not worth playing

    Just watch out for when someone has been sitting out for ages then come back to be very active. They could just been sitting out watching the play, BAM! they've got AA. Seen it happen once. lolz.

    why do you care? free chips and less players to compete against. if they want to buy in and then not play that should not worry you. just be aware of ukaliks said

    i have started some long sng sessions (45 mans, 27 mans, 18 mans, 9 mans) where i sitout because i am preparing for the day, but want to get a lot of tables going.
    5 mins of sitout is nothing if ur going to play 20-200 sngs and 8-12 hours

    it's not what exactly it looks like , when they sit out they avoid most of the action on the table , n usually dont go busto n make it to top 3rd. thats the point, still looks weird though
