Re: ferguson from 12k to 26k
 

Barry G 'shortstacks' bigger games never for less than 50% of the max buy-in and stays in the game as long as its good. Ferguson buys in for the minimum whenever he can and ratholes as often as possible.

One is a way of exploiting site rules to your benefit when you lack postflop skills. The other is a way of getting in cheaply, checking out the game and possibly building a big stack off a small investment. Can you see the difference?

it's a shame that ftp endorses ratholing. a real shame.

whenever he sits @10/20nl with me, I tell the railbirds that if I stack him, I will give out his stack to the rail- its not a lot of money, and its a joke that a "pro" acts like he does. if he was decent @ poker he would just grind lower stakes and win with ease. THATS bankroll management, not shortstacking higher limit games.

So some of you High stake players actually gives away money to railbirds when they starts begging for money?
Pathetic imo.
