She had the "big chips" as you call them. She can do what she wants. Sounds like you are jealous because you got your ass kicked by a girl. doesn’t sound to me like you know what you are talking about. She had the “big chips” as you call them.

M Zone theory and inflection points might make for a good future blog post. I've seen (I'm sure we all have) players make some really awful decisions, like a dominant chip leader in the big blind for 600 folding to an all in of 700 or calling large bets to the river but folding to the final all in of 100 when the pot has 3,000 in it. As Delik said, donkeys will be donkeys. Good point! M Zone theory and inflection points might make for a good future blog post.

Therefore in most cases you will be able to steal their blinds even if you have a comparable stack size. Don’t forget that many players do not know about the Harrington “M” koncept.

There`s one other element here that I didn`t mention that makes this scenario even more interesting (to me anyway). When we run into someone who is sitting out the one thing we never know is why they are sitting out and if or when they are coming back. So, what would have happened if the player sitting out came back with 1,000 chips or so? With blinds at 200/400 he would have had to shove all in pretty much the first hand and I would not have been far behind. So, now the big stack is facing 2 desperate players trying to make the money, and we all know anything can happen in those situations. A double up or 2 and it's a whole new game, what seemed like a certain first place finish for "big chips" all of a sudden is not such a sure thing. Thanks for the comments guys, all good points.

Glad to hear you tagged the player in question. I am amazed that there are still players out there that don’t have a clue. Glad to hear you tagged the player in question.

Too many people do this online and it is quite frustrating to those who are trying to make the money. I guess it all comes back to knowing your situation in relation to the others at the table. ie. Know your chip stack, other players chips and the blinds to figure out your best course of action to reach the money. At least you were smart about it and still made the money.

Generally, it goes with out saying that in cases like these - checking down the pot or isolating the super short stack to get to heads-up play is a no-brainer, however proper etiquette would suggest that it really should go 'without saying'. Unfortunatly, you can't count on other players to lend the assist...and shouldn't really ask them directly to do it... donkeys will be donkeys ofcoarse - even if you point out the obvious.
