If you choose to "sit out" before a new hand starts, you get dealt into the hand with 2 fresh cards, that auto fold. This can be seen if you click on the "I'm Back Button"

You can also sit out once, wait for cards to be dealt then click "I'm Back", see the cards you were dealt. Then sit out again, and get 2 fresh cards for the next hand, rinse and repeat again and again

Even though this doesn't assist you in anyway at all as you cannot play those cards.

When sitting out, you should not be dealt any cards at all, as this reduces the card odds for the rest of players on getting those cards during the game.

That would definitely benefit the odds on the hands if cards werent dealt, but this logic is found at poker tables. If you dont want cards, you get up and take your chips and leave the table, or you fold your pocket cards. If it is presumed you are still sitting, you receive two cards that are mucked automatically.
In tournaments for instance if you gotta leave for the restroom or something and a hand finishes quickly, they dont simply skip your seat, you get two cards and they get mucked since you are not there to take action.
So this is a feature they actually got correct.

In cash games if you’re sitting out you don’t get dealt any cards and do not have to pay any antes/blinds.

In live tournaments your hand is dealt but mucked straight away if you’re not at the table (see First Card off deck rule.) You post blinds and antes even if you’re sat out.

In online tournaments you’re sat out until you click to ‘sit back in’. Your hand isn’t immediately mucked as in live poker, if you sit back in quick enough before action is on you, you can still play the hand. You post blinds and antes even if you’re sat out.

K then, if thats normal play in Online poker, then this can be graved. I just find it odd and never seen it previously.
