Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?
Short stack buyin play in and of itself is not the problem.
In live play there are rules in place to prevent ratholing which is taking winnings off the table to protect them.
Since you can play multiple tables online, and come and go at will, it is not easy for online sites to enforce a ban on ratholing.
When a short stack buyin player chooses to become a ratholer then the integrity of the game is compromised.
