Posted by awood88: it's also not fair on the other players on other tables if your stacks are growing faster without risk due to not playing hands
I was thinking about this a bit after my last post in this thread, I think this is probably the most important issue. As it's not just a question of rules then, but also ethics.

It's definitely cheating but i think whats worse is people who register to the tourney and have no intention of playing it. That just spoils it for the rest of the players. I personally would just try and take the other guy out then i'll have all the free chips to myself

Every time there is someone trying to take me down while the rest of the table is sitting out and manage to win, i finish like 90% in the money in a very good place, since im getting the chips of a whole table. Nice way to start a tournament
