Re: CHOO CHOO
[ QUOTE ]
 [/ QUOTE ] lolol. On the topic of shortstackers. I just accept them and have never really lost much sleep over them. But whatever decisions we make in life wether it comes to poker or whatever else, reflects what type of people we really are. Im a very competetive person and have confidence in my abilities, therefore I would take the route of getting the most profits and making the most money. Shortstacking requires much less skill than fullstack poker and the people who choose to do this realize they dont have the intellect/skill to be a winner at it. Plain and simple.

[/ QUOTE ] i definitely agree with this. doesnt necessarily make shortstackers bad people, but it definitely is a concession on their part that they either cant beat the game fullstacked or are too lazy to learn, neither of which are particularly admirable. but you still gotta pay the bills i guess.

Re: CHOO CHOO
I'm more a lurker kinda guy but I just wanted to say that MT2R is pathetic for not backing up his big talk about jfish's datamined winrate.
I don't like shortstackers and I look down upon them, but as long as there are not 3 at my table I won't loose sleep over it. edit: damn, didn't mean to bump this one but had it bookmarked and deleting is too late now.

Re: CHOO CHOO
2004 World Champion and poker millionaire Gregory Raymer was spotted at two of my $5/$10NL No Limit Texas Hold'em tables today "shortstacking" with stacks of under 20BBs
PrimogenitoX: oh great...now fossilman is shortstacking too...WTF FossilMan: just trying it out FossilMan: I will reload, but not until down to 80 or so FossilMan: and then will reload for less PrimogenitoX: Raymer are you trying some kind of shortstacking experiment PrimogenitoX: or just trying it out one time FossilMan: trying it out a little, done it 3 sessions now I will withhold personal commentary at this time as to this development of significant implications.

Re: CHOO CHOO
a) MDMA makes very good points. I understand the shortstackers disagreeing with him due to being hypocrites though.
b) I've played on a site which doesn't have shortstackers (due to a small number of games and a long ratholing window) and it's a lot lot lot more fun than Party is. The default BI is 50BB and the fish mostly buy in for that or 100BB so MT2R's argument about preserving fish is a false one. c) I tried shortstacking once and it was very lame and boring. P.S. die shortstackers die
