Default Re: M2TR shortstacker illuminati thread

Ok, I've stopped reading on page 7 to post some thoughts before they fly out of my head.

First I agree with phydaux, either people are open with all their thoughts on poker or not.

I also think that having this information wont be as unproductive as people think. Personally I wouldn't mind if a table was all short stackers bar me, you could just run them over. Also having played as a short stacker (only to clear a bonus which required me to play above my usual limits), the worst possible environment for me to play in would be one in which everyone short stacked.

These thoughts lead me to the following conclusion, either posting this information will have a minor effect on the games. Which won't drastically effect peoples win rates here as they will learn to counter short stackers or it will have such a major effect as for everyone to become short stackers which could change to a completely new dynamic. One which I believe will lead to short stacking being less profitable. Further I can't see poker rooms not increasing the min buy in if this thread didnt have a major effect, as most of their profit is in raking the full stacks. If all the short stackers played really tight their profits would fall.

Just my thoughts, I'm not fussed either way. But if I was you I would post.
