I'm convinced now, the 20BB buyin minimum is a good thing. It preserves the ecosystem of tables and sites, and lets the fish try their stuff at tables which would otherwise be scary to them.

I really like pushing more for longer times before they can return without the last winning stake though.

it's really a difficult spot

on the one hand, a lower buyin does alot to protect fish and the supply of fish

on the other hand, there is the fear of shortstacking farms being set up--I'm pretty sure the only thing that has stopped that from happening is shortstackers not sharing info

I hate shortstackers and I'd love it if they're all gone. I'd also start shortstacking myself if I knew a proper strategy and could make money doing it. Hint Hint, someone should share the info. Why haven't I ever read any threads on how to shortstack?

because thats the worst thing you could do to yourself as a shortstacker is teach other how to play correctly.

People in general are lazy and poker players even more so. I doubt many people are even interested in finding out an optimal strategy because it would require work. To just give it to them would be the worst. Just let the 98.7% of them that are horrible keep doing their thing.

Because all those threads are in the Beginner forum. I coach people there all the time. I just tell them to make sure no one in the FR NL forum finds out.
