In particular, his stop-loss strategy and tendency to buy in short means you're VERY unlikely to take him for a big score. He quits as soon as he starts to lose.

So why does anyone play him?

You're right. Ivey has figured out a stop loss strategy that makes it -EV to play him. Unexploitable.

If you're being ironic, I don't care.

The guy quits when he's down at most 100k , what you going to do? Your losses will be bigger than your wins.

Stop loss strategy's are only good if you play worse when losing.

I disagree with this part. There are other considerations here that people rarely consider. These are mostly image related and it's hard for me to accurately explain them but I'm pretty sure they do exist. I've always quit playing HU when i lost a couple buyins and I can't emphasize how much that has helped me. Simply put, it's just really hard to play anyone, much less a WCP, when he has the momentum in the match.

But, this is just another way of saying you think you play worse when you're losing. As does most everyone. You said "I disagree with this part" and went on to simply re-word that part, not disagreeing with it at all.
