Smile Take Advantage of those Ghosts

I just posted a reply to another thread about "Sitters" or "Ghosts"... there was some good advice there too...here what I posted...

I know it can be boring, but take advantage of the situation and rake in those blinds if possible. If there is another player at the table that doesn't know how to play a "Sitter Table" you can take their chips too.. Or.. other times I am friendly feeling and ask the other non-sitter(s) if they want to alternate taking the table blinds until the sitters are gone.. Once most of the sitters are out and some real players are there agree to start playing normally..

Of course, this only works with someone who is willing and isn't trying to "trick" you.. I've been lucky so far and have had several people work with me..

What really bugs me is when You are the only live player at a table for 30 minutes or better and some "Sitter" finally decides to show up and starts playing like a maniac. After patiently and boringly collecting blinds for 30 minutes, I have built up a grudge against sitters and tried to aggressively impose my will..only to be knocked out soon after.... Can you say "TILT?".....
Here's the link to the whole thread.... Those %#^* sitter outers

Hope it helps you take advantage of "Ghosts"...by the way..I find these sitters at every freeroll I've ever been in so I had to develop some sort of strategy eventually or go crazy and quit playing freerolls all together.. I'm glad I didn't, I've been slowly building up a nice bankroll from learning how to play them and last a long time... ...Good Luck !!!
