Hit and Run Players

[Bawse]

What's your opinion on players that hit and run?

Hit and Run: When a player doubles up, and leaves a cash game almost immediately after winning the hand.

I think they are more responsible than players that want to empty their resources before quitting. There is nothing like knowing your limits and endurance! The chances of losing is very high when you play for long hours! Psychological problems like tilt and mental exhaustion may effect one's ability to play with all concentration.

I don't like hit and run poker players. They always disrupt the flow of the table. And I think it is one of the worst etiquette in poker. When you win and leave, it is a sign that you are a selfish poker player and I would never play against such a poker player ever again.

I would say that these are far smarter players, and they know when it is time to stop and walk away.

I can understand why those who are playing against the player who does a hit and run would be a little frustrated, but it could be their only way to prevent themselves from going too far and losing it all.

When players hit and run in poker, they have not actually broken any rules. But I personally detest such kinds of poker players. The flow of the game is broken with such behavior. Staying around and playing a little shows respect for the table and other players.

It's typically bad etiquette in poker to leave in a cash game immediately after you win a hand. I don't play cash games anymore, but I've done it myself(live) in the past.

It's indeed a bad etiquette in poker to leave in a cash game immediately after you win a hand but it's better to run with your win than to lose it staying and player longer. Personally, I don't have any problem with any player doing that, they are more interested in securing their bankroll.
