I proposed awhile ago that Pokersites should have tables where there is one consistant dollar amount in play, 1BB (lol) 5BBs 20BBs 50BBs 100BBs 200BBs 500BBs etc tables could be opened up for all limits.

If you won or lost money the difference would be added to or taken from a queue on the table but everyone would have equal effective stacks, and they could run gamble it up short tables and some fun really deepstacked tables.

kinda like cap nl? I think it would kinda suck b/c i think you'd fine a % of donkeys sitting at the shorter tables and who doesnt <3 those guys that run up a min buyin and play just absolutely horrible. (id love em more if they just bought in full to begin with but what can you do)

[/ QUOTE ]

yes cap, but with an effective "floor" equal to the cap, and I mean all the tables could be 100BBs

gg life. i'd rather play shortstacks.

If I could somehow sit out right before my last hand of the night, I'd have so much more money.

been playing this guy hu for a while and he pretty much hasn't lost a hand. i haven't won a pot over $400 against him. he's won every RRd pot, it's so sick. if i get 2nd pair he always has tp, if i have tp he has 2pr, he folds to any 2pr+ i've had and every 1010+ pf. so gross

he's really bad actually.

I'd recomend playing him 100%, and I only quit because I was tilted. Put it this was, Twin-Caracas took $5k off of him, and Twin is so straight-foward/weak and easy to play (twin seems like a nice guy though)

[soah]

I thought twin was a maniacal nutcase?

He started off spewing 2 buyins with 3-bet pot pot, but then he tightened up to literally checking everything down post-flop or potting with nuts/near nuts. I had his total aggression as 1.82, which is really really low for heads up.

IMSAKIDD: simple answer to your pleas. no we will not respect you as a poker player. you amuse us sometimes, annoy us most of the time, you are basically just a small annoyance we can't get rid of. I hope I speak for everyone when I say that I almost think of you of less than human, just a leech on our games, not really playing, just an extra rake that is there to f with us. You don't play the kind of poker that any self-respecting poker player could think of as anything more than repulsive. You don't deserve respect. btw, I'm not really with MDMA on this one, I don't think poker was designed to be played a certain way. Your style isn't wrong. But don't ask for respect, or even to not be disrespected. You've chosen to do this and you have to live with it. You deserve all the criticism you get. We discuss poker on this forum, and in mine and most people's opinion you don't really play it.

well put dzille. Imsa - I think you (and other SSers) are despicable for the reasons already put forth in this thread. Personally for me being a poker player is already hard to morally accept: we are literally taking people's money. That be it as it may, if I was a short stacker it would really eat at my conscience. Not only is my profession in a moral gray area, but every player I play with would openly hate me. I think Imsakidd feels the same way and this is why he is constantly trying to defend his use of an exploit. Imsa, imagine if you took the last 4months (april - now) to work on your game, even hire a coach. Im sure you could be a winner at 2-4+. Instead look at where you are now: you (and all SSers) are lowlifes.

[DoGGz]

I wish we could keep the flamewars out of Gen and back into hand posts where they belong.

nothing feels better than completely owning a grudge HU match with the moral high ground (getting berated/challenged)
