50bb min is never going to happen

Maybe on a couple of tables at PS because DN asks, but the sites aren't going to listen to all you whingers who essentially want to ban people who are successful against you. I'm a very successful shortstacker and ratholer. Adjusting to 50bb would be no big deal because I buy-in for 50 live and crush those games. To me, banning people with shortstacks is as ridiculous as forcing people off the table if their stack is too deep. Sites aren't gonna listen anyway, so I'll continue plundering mid-stakes and high-stakes tables. The simple reason sites won't change the buy-in is because recreational players will avoid sites with 50bb minimums. Recreational players don't like the feeling of merely being bait. It's the recreational player that drives poker. If you can't adjust to shortstackers, then you aren't a good player. Do you adjust when you're facing an opponent with a much deeper stack than yours?

As for shortstacking being unethical. Give me a break. If that's unethical, then so is check-raising and bluffing. It's poker you morons. It's a game. It doesn't exist so you can grind out your 4BB/100.

Shortstacking is not unethical, ratholing is, and I'd like to hear you defend it. You sounds like an idiot OP.

why do so many shorstacks think that not being able to adjust to them is why people don't like them?

intermediate/advanced shortstacking strategy is unexploitable, nobody can beat a good shortstacker, not even your high stakes heros

So why not employ shortstacking strategies yourself if it's unbeatable? You are costing yourself money. Oh that's right. It's unethical lol.

An advanced deep stack player is also unbeatable long term. Do we ban long-term winners as well?

Why is ratholing a problem anyway? Doesn't it mean you just lose less?

I really chalk this up as a victory of sorts. I've beaten the game. People literally want the rules of NLHE changed to defeat me.
