- 888poker will monitor the practice known as table camping and take action against players who employ the method to obtain an unfair advantage.
- Table camping is the phrase used to describe the abuse of the “sit out” option to pay fewer blinds and play more hands from the Button.
The 888poker rep on 2+2 has announced that the site will, with immediate effect, start to take action against “table camping.”
The practice relates to players who abuse the use of the “sit out” option at cash game tables. Some players exploit the option to make it possible to avoid paying some blinds and play a disproportionate number of hands from the button.
888poker will now monitor players who sit out for an excessive proportion of the time, “and address them on site.”
The 888poker rep said: “We reserve the right, at our discretion, to take action against players 'sitting out’ for excessive periods of time. Repeated abusers of the 'Sit out’ feature may be restricted from participating in our poker games either temporarily or indefinitely.”
