Wow you made a post in a shortstacking thread without being antagonistic, sarcastic, or using all caps.

I would make an antagonistic, sarcastic, and CAPS LOCK post here but i've basically pissed off everyone on 2p2 with it cause i have no self-control and don't know where to draw the line.

Serious Business. (CHOO CHOO)

MT2R has no problem making a steady income playing fullstack. He just happens to prefer the shortstack as he can concentrate on much more worthy things

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately the "more worthy things" in your case is more tables of shortstacking. In essence, this is depleting the fish of their funds much quicker. So your arguement that you want what's best for the games is invalid.

actually, it's watching porn on another monitor and sports on one of the tvs

I actually agree that the best things sites could do is limit people to 4 games

MT2R I can't tell if all your posts in this thread are some kind of sarcastic nonsense or if you believe this crap..

It's not like random gambooly fish buy in for 20bbs, run it up to 50 and then cash out...

Raising the minimum buyin would only really affect the ratholers.

I believe it when I wrote it


nope....raising the min buyin affects all the players
by eliminating the competent shortstack, the fullstack good player can now use a fuller array of his tools to hurt the fish. The competent shortstack protects the fish whether the fish buys in for the minimum or maximum. Shortstacks are preserving good game selection. You should all just be saying, "Thank you. I'm glad you are protecting fish so that they don't quickly realize how bad they suck" and so on. Alas, I understand your line of reasoning and the mental blocks that stand in the way of such an acknowledgment. Oh well....so it goes.

You wrote in another thread that many of the good short-stackers are winning as much as the good full-stackers. Obviously this would have to be true for players like you and Imsakid to be shortstacking in the first place.

How on Earth are you protecting the fish by taking just as much money FROM THEM as a fullstaker does?

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Your statements are full of contradictions, this just being one of them.

that's so -EV for the site...cause we'd just play 3 sites at once if we wanted to 12 table instead of 12 on "their" site.

Tilt won't let me 16 table, so I play 8 on tilt 8 on stars...they're just losing business and not slowing down how many tables I'm playing.
