Re: NL: Why the hate on short buy-ins?
[ QUOTE ]
These would allow players to avoid the short stack buyin players that use ratholing tactics (if they prefer to not play with such vermin).

Wow. "Vermin"?
Considering the fact that poker is a game in which an optimal play when you have crap is to sometimes misrepresent the strength of your hand and mislead others into thinking one thing so that they fold to you and you can take the money and run, I think that's a bit rich.
Personally, I will sometimes play shortstacked if there are a bunch of maniacs at the table or if I'm just coming in to the game.
