Hate shortstackers? Enjoy 50bb minimum-buyin games? Help Negreanu / PS

[Alobar]

the players arent going to leave for other sites just cuz they cant buy in for 20BB, they'll either just buy in for 50BB or just move down a level and buy in min there (most likely what will happen)

[ClubChamp04]

The easiest solution here is to add deep tables at every level with a minimum 50bb buy in. Then everybody will have a choice of where to play.

ok, i guess i should have rephrased... you are aware that there are a bunch of people who are professional short stackers correct?

The annoying thing is very few of them actually do make money. But they all [censored] up the way I want to play. And they make the games less enjoyable for the fish who want to splash around.

So is this 100/200 DEEP table running? I looked last night and again today and it's always 4-6 people sitting out at the table.

[EnderFFX]

Is it possible that by raising the minimum and allowing a higher cap this could cause the fishes to go broke much more quickly? Ideally a site wants the fish to stay around for a while. Deep NL obviously favors the more skilled players. I think from a financial standpoint a poker site would rather spread games where good players have a slight to average advantage, not an overwhelming advantage over not so skilled players.

it doesn't matter if they suck or not. The problem is the unethical ratholing

You obviously don't know the definition of ratholing. If Poker Stars allowed ratholing there would be no one playing NL there because it would be constantly abused.

Huge difference between switching tables after a short period and pulling money off the table and then staying there.

the fact that you're asking this makes it tough to listen to your arguments here

It is pretty obvious I am a losing player because I suck at poker. <font color="white"> lol jk </font>

Leave it at 20BBs and raise the rathole limit to an hour.

Pro SSers will be forced to play less or rathole less.

Donks who are buying in short just cuz they suck/don't know any better will still be able to play at limits way above their head.

Win/win.
