1) My stack didn't go in until I had the straight. The odds of one of the other two players having the higher straight were mitigated by me holding 2 of the 3's needed to complete a straight with them holding just a 7. I weighed the odds of either having the 7,8 for the nut straight and their behavior/my reads didn't indicate either had the nuts -- just hoping they did. Live poker is a wild ride -- do all the math you want, but reads on opponents are valuable.

2) I didn't call anyone a "buffalo".

lol oh it says "bluffalo". Very clever, congrats

Oh and you're right my mistake, you put half your stack in as a 4/1 dog

So you are playing in a 3 bet pot and part of your logic is having blockers to 3-7. Great play.

Uh.. that's the logic for calling the all-in on the turn -- when I had the made straight.

There aren't monsters under every bed.

is this a troll? quit buying in for 50 dollars. and all of this is dependent upon stack sizes if your play was good or bad. but if your buying in for $50 im assumings its terribad. have a since of pride op when u buy in.

Short buys are a strategy. You may or may not like them, but they aren't wrong. If you are playing at a very aggressive and loose table, then a short buy is a very good choice to make. If you're playing with a bunch of nits, then no. I am usually playing in a very loose and aggressive game. Plus it's not like you can't top off to the cap if you decide after a few hands that's a better option. I can usually triple/quadruple up fairly quickly, so the short buy is my preferred starting point (so far, my best cash out from a $60 buy-in at $1/2 was $2175).

At higher limit games where (ostensibly) more players are aware of the math involved, then a short buy may or may not be an advantage depending upon the table.

Yeah, I hate having a big stack when there are a bunch of loose aggressive people throwing their money around. Particularly when rake takes a huge chunk of my profit when I can only invest $50 in a pot.

short stacking scum

Meanwhile MP is sitting there between a buffalo and a donkey like "old mcdonald had a farm..."

MP was sitting there with his pocket jacks just praying...

Yeah just like sending in wave after wave of grunts to get mowed down until your enemy runs out of ammo is a "strategy" too. Just a terrible one.

ah, the good ol' "limiting our losses" approach

I know i shouldn't ask, but I am curious about the bold above:
If you can usually triple up a $60 buy in fairly quickly, what happens differently when you buy in full? Is it your play that changes?

This.

Hehe
