55 is a favorite HU all in preflop vs. AK. that is all. And no, I think short stacks are weak and unskilled.

This can be a costly assumption.

I'm not advocating pushing small pp's pf. Just making a statement of fact

Sorry, my post was unclear. I mean to say that assuming short stack players are unskilled turds can end up being costly.

I don't think it is unethical, but it is annoying. When I sit down in a ring game I want to play real poker, not two card poker. I wouldn't mind if buy-in limits were set with a higher % as minimum.

But then again, I don't play 2000NL.

I don't see it as unethical, I do think they should change the software so that when you rejoin a table you left within the last 30 mins, you rejoin with the same stack you left it with, this should be standard practice for online sites.

I dont exactly understand why you (pocket11s) would be upset with the situation you described. You raise with AK and get a caller. Donk with 55 shoves. The fact that the money from the blinds + your raise + the caller between you and the donk means that, although your chance to win the pot is 50/50, the odds you are getting when you reshove are great. If you dont like getting your money in the center in +EV situations, then i dont think poker is the game for you...

It is standard practice on most sites, but what people do is site down at a limit table and buy in for they bank-20bbs, then the system lets them sit because they have buying in with all the money in their account.


Example, you have $500 in your account, you sit down at a $100NL table with $20. Double up to $40, leave the tables, sit a limit table and buyin for $520, then sit back at the NL table with your remaining $20.

This is why I think limit is a superior game. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used a bad example and did a terrible job of explaining the situation. I probably should of picked a hand like, theres 2 limpers and you call with JTs on the button.

I have been at a table where you have 5 players fully stacked, there to play poker at that limit. Someone buys in for the minimum and starts pusing with any pair, AK-AJ.

Everyone at the table are making comments like "F-ing short stacks, they need to up the min buy-in" because this person with no significant amount of money to win is ruining the flow of the game.

Mabey you're happy tightening up and "Waiting to spring the trap" on the guy with 20bb. I find it anoying. Difference of opinion, no big deal.

I don't mind doing this for the maniac who is fully stacked though, that's my favorite situation to be in.

According to the FTOP, isn't this a good thing?

Geeze, I hate when my opponents go on tilt.

Yeah, right, last time I checked 20BB isn't even real money, I mean, small edges? PFFFF

Ive read a few posts from you and they all seem to have a common theme, sacarstic, and pointless. Keep up the good work *ThumpsUp*
