Is it me or normal?

I have a quick question. I love poker, but it's only recreational, though I think I have read every book ever written on the subject (I read a lot). I play small stakes online, mostly SNGs, just to practice for my weekly home game (it's big stakes, $5 buy-ins).

OK, Bio done:

Started playing .2/.5 NL ring games and I enjoy it, but everytime I start doing well, the tables clears out.

Yes, I only play one table at a time.

Is that normal?

your taking everyones money they are either going to rebuy or leave!

It happens, some times it doesnt. Its just coincidence.

This is very common. Players only queue up for action tables, once the fish are busted and gone (which is what happens to fish) the table shrinks. Once it starts to shrink all the other players bail too because they don’t like short handed games.

I’m the same, if my table drops to 6-7 I usually jump to a nearly full one.

Good to know. Never said I was the Ivey, but most people at the few tables I have played don't like pre-flop raisers it seems.

Guess I will table hop!

Thanks again.
