NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?

[E.Z.]

Let's look at it another way. What if the table limits were 50BB - 500BB. Would you still always buy-in with the maximum? Anyone working off a 20 - 30 buy-in bankroll would be playing way lower! At what stage are the stacks deep enough that more money makes no sense? If there was no upper limit what would you buy-in for assuming you had no idea what the others had on the table? and even then assume someone had 1 million on a 1/2 table how much would you buy-in for?

good question Sir. i think some of these 100 BB guys would think twice about putting there entire bankroll vs this guy. mr. million may even give them some sh*t in the chat box about it.

i dont use pokertracker but i know i win a greater% and keep the odds in my favor as a shorty when i have kk or AA. but when big stacked i can sit and real in the pots when i hit low sets vs donks.

i think the bottom line is the big stack that plays somewhat tight doesn't like shorties cause it takes away from the payday on sets.
