Default Re: Ethics of Shortstacking the 2k

I think it is technically unethical, and have never done it myself although i have read the theory and i can see how it is approachable as a strategy. But i admit in certain situations it can become profitable but not for the right reasons, the main being relying on two cards rather than five. The only advice that i could give with my fairly small amount of experience i have, is to just observe, and read em until you decide to play them.
If they are pushing AI with mid/low pairs or A high kicker (and they are *every* single time) then all you can do is make sure that preflop you have a hand of +EV, AA, KK etc. You could also let him get beat because there is a very small chance that this will be unchallenged and successfull 100% of the time. All you have to do is be wise and not get involved. Have fun wise 2+2 posters [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
