Morons who buy in with 20BB or less. Evertime they raise, you can basically only call (or raise) them with KK or AA because their range is so tight that if you elected to call or raise them with AK the best you would get would be a coinflip.

Whenever they raise, you have to fold small pocket pairs which you could have played for set value.

They usually double up and leave the table. However, if you aggressively attack their blinds by raising them every round, you crush their edge a little bit.

in regards to the 10K he is building on FT, Ferg has already stated that all will go to a specific charity. i just started this challenge, but on stars, i've won $1.20 in a freeroll tourney, and am currently grinding .02/.04 LHE. should be fun..

Doing the same thing. Its actually a lot of fun because the play is so absurdly bad.

why not turn 10,000 into 10 million? I think that would turn some heads. it's all relative though.

This is incorrect for MANY short-stackers in many situations.
If you've been folding your AK to me and letting me steal or get heads-up with somebody else while I'm holding KQ or AJ then I want to thank you bunches and bunches.

I have grinded from $0.65 to $25 so far on my WSEX account.
Woo-hoo!!
