Leaving the table after your All In?

While watching Poker on TV we have noticed a trend of players leaving the table after they are all in. Some occurrences are understandable and are not bad etiquette. For instance, if you have a friend in the audience, you may step away and tell them what has happened so they can sweat with you and then come back. Obviously other cases are acceptable as well. Huge scale events like the WSOP Main, and EPT Grand Final tables are all good. However where it becomes silly is when they do it every hand and in spots where the pressure really isn't huge. When it is for $5000.00 instead of a Million. Please do not run away from the camera and off the set to get attention, it's weak. Give your opponent the respect of being at the table when flops, turns, and rivers come raining down! After all this is where the excitement lies. No matter what a player will tell you, SHODOWN's are the most exciting aspect of the game. You find out if you are correct, little ahead, little behind, dominating, dominated, or completely outclassed and dead in the water. Make sure your not part of the latter, but even if you are, MAN UP and learn from what just happened. Don't run away like a coward.
