It's because 30% of players want it available, 10% don't like it, and the rest could care less.

There's always going to be a minimum buy in. Thats just the way it is in cash poker games. Some people people are only comfortable buying in for the minimum or a little more without considering the # of BBs it is, thats just their psyche. Frankly your complaining about it would be like the novices who don't want to buy in for more $$ saying that others should have to go south with $$ when they reach a certain amount.

Why is deepstacking allowed? Why is it a 5 card hand made of 7 cards? I got three pair one time.
Why can't we use the jokers?

Better yet, learn effective strategy to play against a ss. Which at NL 10, is effectively having a pulse and being able to read the board.

I had two players at the same table buying in for $40 at a time at a 1/2 300 max buy-in table. Rediculous.

I wouldn't care so much if they made it a 50bb minimum, but eh, whatever. At least most SSers are bad

First of all I normally buy-in for 100 times the big blind but anyone who plays equal to me and buys in for the minimum in a n/l game has a distinct advantage over me and others at the table. That is why I said smart, caution should have nothing to do with it.
