Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?
[ QUOTE ]
I get so much joy out of hearing the "real" NL players whine about short-stackers. It makes me want to play it more.

We're "whining" because they are bad for the game, not because they hurt our egos or because we can't adjust. In fact, it's often best not to adjust to the short stacks if there are other larger stacks at the table. They will make money off of us, but we will make more off the weaker deep stacked players by not drastically changing our preflop strategies, even if they can be easily exploited by the pushbots.
You shortstackers seem to think you're not doing any harm buying in for 20BB. Well how would you like it if there were no min buyin and someone came to the table rebuying repeatedly for 5BB? Would that not be bad for the game, especially if there were two or three of them at the table? If so, does that not indicate that there is some point at which buying in super short is bad for the game?
I think we all could live with a 40BB minimum, but the sites won't do it so you guys get to continue to be parasites.
