Brandon Adams, King of Ratholing???

I responded to this but it looks like there was a server change or something.

I don't buy-in short, leave, then buy-in short again. That's ratholing. I shortstack. I believe that if all the players at the table are pretty good, then you give up a lot by not starting with a short-stack. Note that David Benyamine, the biggest winner in PLO, always starts with 16k at 2-4. I usually don't leave when my stack grows, though sometimes I do. There are very strong theoretical adv to starting with a short stack. Also, correct short stack play is insanely aggressive and looks like super-tilt.

I shouldn't have left that one time against Patrick b/c it was a heads up table. The reason I left is no mystery... I think I have an edge against him short stack on short stack (this might not be true), but not deep stack on deep stack. The fact that I left was no shocker to Patrick b/c in the past we've very frequently played HU PLO matches that go like this..... I start with 8 and leave if I get to 25, then start at a new table and leave if I get to 25, and so on. It was kind of stupid to ask him not to reload... the point was that I was willing to play him if we didn't get too deep.

CAsh Poker--- my results for four sessions are +92, -12, -32, and +77, but of course I spewed chips on some individual hands.
