Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?
if i am playing 8-10 tables i will short stack (30-35 bb's) because you dont have the time to read your opponent.
It completely turns the odds against the donk that will call with any pair preflop just looking for sets.
If i ever play 3-4 tables or live i will buy in for as much as i can if i see some guys that simply can't get away from certain hands.
a short stack works well lower limits but at the $100 and up i think it puts a bulls eye on your back because the players are more aggressive. most of my 8-10 tables was done back on Party at 25NL and 50NL.
every site is different. alot have a 20 bb min. absolute has 40 i think, and one website (hollywood??) had it at 10 for whatever reason.
