Default NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?

it occurs to me that the concensus is that the majority of players dont like ppl who buy in short. hopefully, a meanifull discussion will ensue.

its my obsevation that most short buy ins are bad players. any two will do. they are use to getting stacked; thus lose the minimum until the next reload.

they are more likely to call all ins preflop. they are more likely to call post flop with bad holdings or draws.

i would rather see the seat filled with a short buy in than being empty. atleast there's more money on the table.

the only down side to short buy in is when you dont have the implied odds to draw post flop if he bets a proper amount. ty for sites that dont have "bet pot".

i enjoy watching a good short stacker. perhaps hes near busto and trying to rebuild. any one whos played long enough knows this feeling.

for the haters, i think a re-evaluation of the short stacker may be in order. adjust your game.
