Kaintd77 on Fulltilt

[carpmentor]

I tried playing against this guy at 2/4 HU on FT. He won like $50 off of me and sits out. He won't ever play. I sat at 4 of his tables trying to get him to. He threatened to report me for sitting in, full stacked, at his tables. He meanwhile is stting out and says I have to leave or he will report me for breaking the TOS of full tilt. And that they will suspend my account for this. Any validity to this threat?

He said he would only play me at 300/600 fullstacked. Thats not going to happen anytime soon on my roll.

Whats the deal with this guy?

he doenst play anyone who buys in full

[carpmentor]

His whole train of thought makes no sense. Just because somebody buys-in full does not mean they are good. So he only plays fish who have a few bucks left in their account?

[jpsnow]

im gonna put money on full tilt just to sit at his tables i think

[jpsnow]

o and there is nothing wrong with sitting at a table with a full buy in if this was a serious question

[LucidDream]

nothing he can do about you sitting at all his tables if you are willing to play him

Basically, playing full stack HU vs. a potentially decent opponent requires a lot of attention and thought, and leads to big swings, even if you're a lot better than your opponent.

Playing short stacks only at HU leads to fairly low variance (compared to playing full stacks at the same stakes) easy money, since 90%+ of the shorties who sit at HU tables are looking to gamble and get their stack in asap.

So, it's a lot like short stacking. Less thought required, easy stress free play. I agree it's pretty douchey and super nitty, but I understand why they do it.

That said, I never refused a single person action when I frequented the FTP HU tables, and I'm pretty proud of that. I enjoyed the challenge of a decent opponent, and the mind games that went along with it. But I'm sure my winrate (and especially variance) could have improved had I refused to play a few guys.
