Default Re: M2TR shortstacker illuminati thread

anyone interested in setting up a group to shortstack stars for a couple of days? just to ruin the games so bad that stars will have to raise the buyin to 40 or 50bb.

That said, I don't understand why anyone spends that much time in shortstacking, I started poker 10 months ago and make 10k+ for the last three months now at 200-400NL. If you ever want to make a lot of money you really don't want to waste valueable time playing shortstacked (imo.)

now carry on, I'm not blaiming shortstackers because they just use the rules of the pokerrooms but I just don't get why they don't spend their time learning fullstacked poker.

you do realize quite a few shortstackers, the ones mentioned here, are making 10k+ per month, right?

ADDENDUM: THE MYTH OF HIGH VARIANCE

The problem is thinking in relative terms. If you think in terms of buyins, it's going to seem hellacious as the 1/5 stack moves back and forth alot. However, one should compare to big buyins and playing fullstack. The swings are miniscule then. Like I said, I suck at shortstacking. Yet, here is a graph of August where I ran below average (like 1.2ptbb/100 when it's normally 2). I printed this graph out and have it posted on the wall behind my monitor to remind me what a crappy month looks like. All in all, it looks like a good limit player's graph.




notice how the biggest downswings compare to playing fullstack

I guess i'm the big villain now?

Without going into a long tirade, I think its kinda ridiculous that you're writing up all this [censored] that was said to you in confidence. I guess you are the kind of person to stab people in the back after you have a mutual trust with them. Obviously your choice, not one I would make.

Oh yeah MT2R i'm not really sure why you are so pissed at me now. You never once mentioned to me that you were mad about this stuff.

We probably could have resolved whatever it is that has apparently been pissing you off for a while, but I guess you have chosen this route.

Sorry if you're offended or whatever, just wish we could have settled it without you making me seem like a bigger douchebag than I really am.
