Default Re: Buy in short to protect your bankroll!

While I realize that this isn't a representative hand, it does illustrate a point: notice that the best hand won about one-fifth the amount I won. Don't stunt your game or your winrate by playing short-stacked!

He called a preflop raise for a fifth of his stack with a suited connector, and got the rest of his money in as a 10-1 dog; with a deeper stack, he might have delayed the all-in until the turn, when he'd be a 20-1 dog. The winrate being stunted here is yours, not his.
