xorbie: why were you so tilted by the presence of shortstackers today?

[/ QUOTE ]

im not tilted by them, im just bothered by the fact that everyone bitches and moans about them but isnt willing to do something very, very simple like sitting out when they join the table.

i see a table with 5 full stack guys, all around 22/18. we all know we hate the shortstacks, why bother playing with them. its not hard to just sit out at one of your 7 tables until they leave.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why do you hate them so much? It's super-easy to play these guys (even the better ones MT UR WALLET, curtains etc.) no matter where they sit relative to you. I just don't understand why all you guys are so turned off by these guys.

yeah i played that hand bad because i was in the kind of rush where i start thinking "hmm i know this guy is nitty and never bluffs, but he must have been nitty and not-bluffing for so long that he must have finally gotten fed up with his nittiness and not-bluffiness that he must realize what a great spot to bluff this is and how there are such distinct hands that he can represent and that raising so huge when it's so unlikely that i can pay him off is such an unlikely play if i actually had a hand which i rarely do anyway that this would be an awesome spot to bluff with the many hands the can have that would have missed. it is just about impossible that he has twopair here because that would just be too goddamn clever for him. the only way this is a bad call here is if he managed to never ever be bluffy or clever and only showed up with a flush or a straight"

obv the answer is to fold every time and not pick off that 1/100 bluff [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You are right in thinking like this, but the way he is multi-tabling, he is never showing up with any thing other than good stuff. That said, it's weird for him to play like this with a flush and two pair doesn't make sense.

Also, I don't think 'he NEVER bluffs' is a good way to think about it. He sure makes some bluffs IMO, may be not in as many spots as you do.
