Default Re: Hit and Run Strategy

[ QUOTE ]
It's called shortstacking and is usually frowned upon by 2p2ers. I don't like when people hit and run either.

However, I don't play at stars so keep it up.

Shortstacking is when you buy in for less than 100BB's. This is ratholing.

If you don't feel comfortable playing witha big stack then you don't have to play but if you're a player with a skill advantage over players at your stakes, which presumably you should believe you are, then playing deep should be more favourable to you. Your statement about having a big stack makes them more likely to be good only has a little grain of truth of it. The varaicne inherent in the game means that anyone can double up once or twice and thus the bayesian inference of saying "he's got a big stack so it's more than likely he is a good player" is false.
