Re: The petition to PokerStars to raise the min buy-in

I'm just curious why they allow anything less than 100bb to the table. Whats the reasoning? It just annoys everyone.

It's just smart poker economics; the sites have no interest in facilitating the quick transfer of wealth from fish->shark by way of deep stacked NL pots.
In fact if it weren't for the recent televised poker boom, most sites would prefer to only run limit games and tournaments; many b&m establishments still have this mentality. Go talk to the owners of any Florida cardroom - you think they would rather have a geezer splash around chips every night in $5 raked limit pots, or show up one night and lose 100bb's in NL to a set mining nit and have to wait until next month for his social security check?
