M2TR shortstacker illuminati thread

[random50]

I can't see shortstacking discussions having much impact on the game overall.

What percentage of online poker players are going to see this thread anyway?
Of those who see this thread, how many are going to be interested in becoming shortstackers if they aren't already, and how many of the current *bad* shortstackers are going to suddenly become effective just by reading such advice?

A very small percentage in both cases IMO.

If it were that easy for the average Joe to absorb the info, they'd all be much better already, regardless of which stack size they use (I think there's a big tendency on this site, which seems to consist of decidedly above average people, to either underestimate the difficulty of the game, or overestimate the average intelligence of the population...or possibly both!)

Worst case scenario...some great info gets out into the wide world and appears on a multitude of "make money at poker, guaranteed" sites, the hordes copy it playbook style and, because they're too stupid/lazy/stubborn to adapt, give a big edge to those who take the time to study their playbook. I can't see it scaring the fish off, any more than having large numbers of multitabling regulars scares them off now.

random50, a huge percentage of the online players that put in any meaningful number of hands at reasonable stakes will see this thread. I bet that the players that play 80% of the hands at 1/2 FR on stars read this forum.

So every full ring table at $1/2 has 7 twoplustwo reading regulars on it? If that's the case, then I'm very impressed so many of you are able to make money.

yep...shocking that they and the 100NL grinders stick to that instead of swallowing their pride and just making more money with the same variance by shortstacking 400NL 6max

so you would never short stack full ring? I thought curtains etc were short stacking full ring? Maybe I was wrong.

Level?

From the bottom of this post-

"Topic views: 2890

17 registered and 13 anonymous users are browsing this forum. "

At this moment in time Pokerstars has 44,423 players online.

OK so the "regs" will make up larger proportion of both the readership of this forum AND also a larger proportion of the hands played at meaningful stakes - but do these figures not suggest that we can pretty much discuss what we like without worrying about educating fish?

BTW - Thanks for the posts MTTR, I will be printing out and adding to my folder even though I dont shortstack regular.
