Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?
Huh?
Live places usually have a minimum that's less than 60BB's don't they?
Thought it was pretty common to have 1/2 $100 MAX NL in LV. Assume the min buy-in is even less than that.
In Tunica they have no caps on the buy-ins.
The minimum buy-in at 2/5 NL is either $100 or $200 depending on the room.
And a lot of the $100 buy-in players are just 'free money'. They hardly ruin the game. But they do keep it going imo.
FWIW - I don't know NL too well. Still learning.
So I buy-in short (live or online) if that's what I'm comfortable with. It's not against the rules and I don't feel like it's all the same as rat-holing which I am against and don't do.
If you think I'm scum because I buy-in short to an NL game then so be it I suppose.
But some of you may want to think twice about calling my all-in with your A2 as was mentioned in a previous thread.
Seems there's some serious meta-game advantages to buying-in short also. Short-stackers get zero respect for having any ability at all....so some make plays far more terrible than they would make playing super-careful against a bigger stack.
