ss'ers have started min 3b'ing my minraises with good hands. It's annoying when i shove over them with 74o and they pwn me with aj or w/e. Just a quick heads up.

I was thinking about this last night, and have come to the conclusion that we must have the dumbest shortstackers in the shortstacking universe.

First of all, most of the shortstacking advantage is from the later positions. Wouldn't you want to play 6 max, where people are forced to play from the later positions more, AND raise more often pf (and be even more susceptible to a shove)? No one is going to play a SSer who raises from EP in FR (without the near nuts), so it's just a waste of time/money.

Secondly, shortstacks really don't have much of an inherent edge over other shortstacks. So how could there possibly be 7 sitting at one table?!? Wouldn't a half-way intelligent SS #4-7 (any one of them) just move tables when they see they are sandwiched by other SSers? The only possible reason I can see for so many sitting together is if they are somehow colluding, but I would never know because once the 4th one sits down, I leave the table! It's just dumb for a SSer to sit with 6 other SSers.

So just by osmosis, the SSers should be well-dispersed throughout the games on various sites. If they are German, they should have no problems getting on Party, ipoker, etc. And I would think 6 max is a much better game for them. But we happen to have gotten the brain damaged ones who seem to enjoy playing together in a game that is suboptimal for their style.

this seems like a seriously good idea to me next time the table starts filling up witrh shortstackers we shud all just sit out but not leave, they will play with themselves for a few mins then leave i think???

Tbh, not sure what this does, since FT will time us out after 15mins. Plus, on the margin, I think we would be doing them a favor by making the tables short-handed (assuming people adjust). I think it'll be funny if you were sitting at a table w 7 SSerss and the two regs sat out, so the SSers would have to play each other. But I would have left before the 5th one sat down.

I think that would be fun for like 10 mins until i realized how bad it was for my hourly to A: take the time to get 6 regs to agree to sit out, B: sit out at tables and C: then play with 5 regs.

Is it me, or are there now more SSers at the 5/10 tables than before? Maybe people who start these tables should start deep ones too.

I'm officially in for this. Hadn't really been impacted by the infestation of ss'ers but the past couple of days have been gross. 4,5,6 at a table, and I try to table select well and limit my action to 6 tables. And yet they keep coming. Felt so good to stack Golusog or whatever his name is like 3 times yesterday.

So count me in. Where possible I will try to start deep tables, but be advised I may just sit for a while since I don't have a huge interest in playing good regs HU.

ANyone else noticed that its harder to open deep tables at like 6pm pst ish
