I am playing SNG's on the 10c tables (helsinki) and for the last few days I have noticed that there is always a sitout and sometimes more than one.
Well I was playing and we were down to the last 5 , the sitout was to my right and the big stack to his right, but everytime it folded to the big stack he also folded his small blind to the sitouts bigblind.That seemed strange,but I let it go.
Then yesterday I was again playing with a sitout and managed to get to the last 3,had a battle with the bigstack and beat him leaving me with the sitout,so I minraise his big blind and lo and behold he comes to life and 3bets me.
It is very difficult for a short stack to get over the bubble with a sitout ,your blinds are being attacked and his aren't and when you do get there ,the big stack has aquired a massive chip lead so you are only playing for 2nd and 3rd place.
Does this happen at other levels?
