At my table in the E61 UOS ... Will Rape your Mother ... what a weird loser

Maybe the points system needs fixing. But regardless of the system people who excessively stall should be warned and, if they don't stop it, punished. If someone is hitting the time bank button and running down not just the clock but his time bank and then auto sitting out literally every hand give the player a warning. If they keep doing it just exclude them from the promotion. It is just a small number of people who are doing it. But it's incredibly annoying and as @triceraatopp said it hurts the other players's chances at the table. I don't think Unibet will change the points system to award only players who make it in the money. They probably want to spread the points wider to award points to more players to encourage more people to play the events. It's a promotion after all. Gl to everyone today. Maybe you will get lucky and get a chance to slowroll one of the effing stallers 😀

Yeah, I get that. But it's probably bad strategy anyway, because you get the most points by going deep and playing fewer hands reduces your chances of that. I'm ok with some stalling (I do it myself). If you are short on the bubble, for example, and people are stalling on other tables you are forced to stall yourself. But what this guy was doing was ridiculous and far worse than any other stalling I've come across on Unibet. With 100 players left in a 200 player field he was hitting the time bank button and runnig it down to zero on every hand. That's just taking the piss.

How so? In this case, I'm pretty sure this guy was time banking way before the points began and way into the points.

There is a player with the nickname eatinUalive who is constantly stalling - max time banking every hand in tournaments - for no reason. I've come across him in at least two UOS events where he time banked every hand nowhere near the money. It's really annoying and slows down the game so much. Can you please tell him to stop this scummy behaviour.

With the 22 hand I think you are trying way to hard to find a way to win a hand you are "not supposed to win". You are already winning the hand on almost all run outs. At best your opponent has 4 outs if he has A4s, 2 outs if he has a pocket pair or needs runner runner. Therefore, it's totally fine to lose the hand in the very, very rare situations when the board does run out bad, which in this case really only is a 4 or if it comes like A A. I did make the ft, finished 8th. Think I made a mistake on the first hand of the ft that lead to me being short and busting out soon after. I had KQo in the BB with like 22bbs. There was a limp from early position (from a guy who had been limp folding a lot) and a call. I made it 5x. The first limper folded and the other guy called. The flop was 3 low cards. I cbet very small and the guy jammed all in. My thinking had been I was gonna play aggro because the payout structure seemed flat to me. But because of ICM and, more importantly, because I and one other guy who had a similar stack were playing for the online qualifer UO package I should have taken the lower variance route and just checked back. What do you think? I hardly ever play tournaments so I can't really comment on the structure and these are the only live tournaments I've ever played. But the structure probably is a bit too fast. It feels like you go from being comfortable to being short too quickly by being card dead for a level or 2 or by losing a medium sized pot. So yeah, a bit slower would be better. Also, having such a huge ante when you play 5 / 6 / 7 handed seems a bit weird.

1st hand I would play the same. Raising turn is bad. You basically have a lockdown on the hand and want to keep in all his bluffs. On the river I would not try and bluff him off a better hand. It's not going to work very often because people don't like hero folding full houses. And you still beat quite a lot of stuff: the K is a good card for him to barrel but the river is not. From his perspective it looks a lot like you have a medium pocket pair when you call twice and I don't think most players would tripple barrel this river in order to get you to fold a hand like 88. That's why I would check and expect to win quite a bit of the time. Also, by potting the river what exactly can you rep? You don't have any Kx in your range and the only quads are A4s. Second hand I would play the same. Maybe raise slightly bigger pre, at least 3.5x / 4x. On the river it sucks that you have TT, as you block some of his straight draws. But, short of some read that this guy hardly ever bluffs I would call here. Bottom line this guy can show up with anything and you are getting an ok price.
