baz,

your right that talking about shortstack play can make some posters act like a-holes. dont let this stop you from asking the question you want as these players just need to learn to adjust against the short stacks and quit complaining about something that always has, and always will be a part of poker. some players prefer to buy-in short and this is not going to change. there are plenty of players who are quite good that prefer to buy-in short (barry greenstein for instance) and instead of whining and being rude to legitimate questions a better use of these posters time would be to learn how to play versus short stacks.
