    ahhh..

    the holidays, with a DOSE OF GRIMMING SCUMMY ASSHOLES

    for those of you who dont know, grimming = sitting in on someone, and stealing their button, going to any length to get their money.

    i had 4 assholes in a ROW do this to me last night, and in the process obv lost my chat

    this problem is literally growing so fast its sickening and its soooooooo fucking unethical and immoral.

    i followed the guy that got me from .25.50 all the way up to 5/10, sitting in, stealing their blinds (and whatever other $ they put in after flop or preflop) and sitting right back out so you cant get it. also when they sit out they dont come back so they basically force you to leave to find a table.

    again, if you are one of these people, go fuck yourself, learn some etiquette, learn how to play, grow a pair, etc...

    i think fulltilt established a rule (becuase of this, and because of 'grimstarrr' who the idea originated from and who did it for a while) and im glad they did, i wish stars would do the same or put some kind of punishment from sitting on HU tables and doing this shit.

    i think he means they sit down and raise a good amount on the first hand. You fold your blinds or whatever because you dont have a read and most likely dont have a great hand and then they leave.

    they are sitting at the table first, they auto get the button
    they raise their button to get ur bb, if u fold they sit out
    if u call, they cbet and try to get that, if u fold they sit out
    gotta bust em in one hand i guess

    Lol, seriously isn't this a little easy to defend against if you know they're "grimming"?
