OH! And while I'm thinking about it, you should only post strat in threads where the V is female. How much more vitriol would you like me to spew. Rather than contemplate what advice you gave and how idiotic it was, you just say different situation, nice try.
As someone way better than me had already pointed out twice to you, you likely have no earthly idea what you are talking about. I play in these games now almost exclusively.
And I can tell you for certain you and your short stacking friends will not last long.
OP may well have found a game where none of the 90% of advice in this given ITT does not apply. More power to him. While i haven't played in his exact game, i have played in countless others EXACTLY like it.
Playin in a 1/2 game Saturday with optional button straddle to 5 that earns the button ultimate last action. There will also be a $10 rock in play that must be straddled UTG. And there will be a token that moves counter-clockwise and when that player gets the button, he calls what game the table will play for that hand. OH8 to badAcey to 7Stud to Pineapple to PLO.
Almost forgot. The min buy is $200. Rebuys and top offs up to the big stack at the table. You are more than welcome to your own opinions, but please refrain from calling me pathetic in the future. Question: Game starts at 7. What do you think the average stack is by 9? Hint: Way BIGGER than the min buy. But if you want to try and prove me wrong, I can definitely get you a seat.
Thanks in advance for you careful consideration. If you must reply, please put some thought behind it before dismissing what other people say because it doesn't align with your way of thinking. Maybe we can all learn something in the process.
