Default Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?

Interesting to read that my stack size, if small, ruins your games, your fun, and makes me an idiot. Guess I better stop playing for a living now - since I haven't had a job since Sept. '02 and must not know what I am doing.

Guess I'll sell my cars, and the house, [censored] - I really thought poker was about playing my hand/mood/table presence against the other players and their stacks, regardless of how much I or they have in front of them.

In tournaments, maybe they could make a rule that if you get down to half the average size stack, you have to quit.

Maybe in cash games they can make a rule that if you get to double the average buy-in you have to quit - because really, those guys that have big stacks and keep raising and stealing the small pots are ruining the game.

How about every game has a buy in of 50bb and whenever you get below that, you automatically rebuy to 50bb, and if you win a pot, your stack is automatically readjusted down to 50bb with the extra going to your online bankroll? Whould that make you happy,or would it make you realize how silly your argument is?

Or,

You could accept that every game, every person, every day, is different, and you have to adjust your play to win.

Lets see how many of you whinners are here in another year..............
