This is something that I frankly don't understand.

We have guys on this site like pokey & Cry Me A River who make masterful posts again and again that diligent members can read, discuss and use to become skilled poker players.

And no one has a problem with that. In fact, that's exactly why we all come here. To improve our poker play.

But when it comes to short stack information, some people become down right paranoid.

Why are we afraid to help shorties improve their skills, but we bend over backward to help out full stackers?

It doesn't make sense. Either we help other players, or we don't. Either there are enough fish to feed us all, or there aren't.

To you guys who are paranoid and "hold back" in discussions of short stacking, let me ask you this:

Do you also hold back and not share everything you know in discussions of full stack poker? If that's true, would you ever pass along wrong strategy or information, so you can "keep your edge?"

-yes, full stackers hold back IMO, but that is kind of a side issue



to get back to phydaux's point, I don't think I'm going to hold back any longer. I'm not the greatest at ss'ing, but I could definitely begin a much better discussion than anything posted here before. My other 'experiment' thread idea was to point out that it mainly is just paranoia. At least, that is the conclusion I've come to see. No one would pay to keep ss'ing info from hitting the boards. Some would pay to have it, but not that much. I'm thinking I'll post some of what I know while on vacation next week. I've already outlined 5 to 6 topics to begin the discussion.

I seriously hope you get banned

btw if you post this, I will as a service to the community, spend time and explain how to exploit your strategy. I guarantee you I can, as I doubt there is anyone here who plays better vs SS'ers than I do.
