Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

say you wanted to follow a fish to 2knl or so and your regular limit is 1000nl:

you had an open seat with a fish on your right who was half stacked and 2 other good players who were 2x stacked..

would you sit with just $1000?

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

depends if i thought i was better than the other good players

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

A lot depends on how fishy is the fish and how good are other players btu in general if you regular limit is 5/10 playign 10/20 once in a while shouldnt be too scary.. especially with a shortstack.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

Just keep as money money on the table as u need to stack the fish

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

sit def w/ 1k cuz if other players full stacked generally at 10/20 not complete donks... maybe b/c ur range is wider against donk and ur halfstacked u look like fish urself and end up killing the table with ur jackoff image

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

If you feel like you're gonna be the second worst player in the game but the worst player is bad enough to make it profitable for you, just sit with enough to cover the fish.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

If you double up through the fish and he rebuys for 1k, do you rathole?

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

If you're this worried about the other players being better than you don't sit at all.

you are tricksy

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

What Ego said. Don't sit if the other players are a large scale concern for you. As a default,. sit with a bit more than it takes to cover the fish if you do plan to do this.

I actually laughed out loud at the 1053.67 comment above. Not a bad line IMO.

hahahaha.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

i think that if u r tilty/a pussy/fear variance, sitting with just enough to cover the fish sounds like a very good idea. or if u r humble enough to admit when someone is better than u.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

i'm not sure how to play preflop with 50bb.

should i fold 22-77 from utg(6 max)?

should i still call raises with sc and pp in btn?

should i raise sc from co?

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

My gut tells me that the money I lose from not being able to play a 50bb stack as well as a 100bb stack against the supposedly better 100bb players is more important than the money I gain from not losing as much against the better players over time. For this reason, I'd sit with 100bb but I could definitely be convinced I'm wrong.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

If you only sit with 1k because you are too afraid of the big bad 10/20 players then now there are TWO donks at the table and that is just fine.

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

how well you play a 50bb stack is most important imo

Re: Theory - Sitting with good players and fish....
 

1k, if you lose it then tilt and reload for 2k
