02-13-2009 , 12:42 AM
whenever a shortstack sucks out or dishes out a huge cooler I like saying "you go girl!" Tilts them a bit
02-13-2009 , 01:18 AM

I think I'm going to start short stacking. That way the 6 times I rank QQ/KK into AA tonight would have only cost 120bbs total.

don't do it D, don't you dare.

hey guys, i think if you ahve two people sitting out at 8 tables its incredibly counter productive.

i think the fish just get fed up trying to get a table going and find a diff. game.
02-19-2009 , 07:03 AM
yeah the real way to beat shortstackers is to team up with another reg and compulsively start 50bb min tables whenever you can. See the 1/2 games for proof of this.

No it is extremely awesome like 80% of the tables i sit out at while browsing the internet start a game. fish sit anyway.

LOL, I think I am turning to evil side because 20BB tables looks better than 50BB.

Why because:

And fact is that there are only few shorties who are successful (1PT/BB+), other are break-even or losers. Also 20BB tables filling faster than 50BB and I think 20BB tables fish-regular ratio is better than 50BB tables.

Better share some good information how to beat shorties (I mean regular shortstackers).

Example: if you are going to steal the blinds and atleast one blind is shortie, then minraise instead of your normal open. Also if you are SB and BB is shortstack, then again almost always try to steal his blind with minraise.

Many times I have seen 2p2-ers who constantly keep opening 3 or even 4BB if one or both blinds are shorties. Please don't do that because remember, 20BB is now effective stack and 2BB is giving little bit more than 1:20 implied to BB and 1:13 to SB. But if you steal with 60%+ range then your range is so wide and they still can't call profitable. So basically they shove with the same range, dosen't matter how much you raise.

I think making 50BB tables isn't solution, it's escaping but problem still exist. Shortstackers strategy is so easy, just analyze their game some time, use pokerstove, try to find ranges and now u can beat them. After that you love some shorties in your table because now you can play perfectly vs them and basically they are fishes who donate money to you.

playing someone HU >> one person sitting out while you sit in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 regs sitting out
02-19-2009 , 01:03 PM
wat??

dont start 20BB tables! it has been so much better with the 50BB ones in the last time!
02-19-2009 , 01:08 PM
I haven't noticed significant difference But maybe the reason is because I am sitting only tables where I have edge.

And I rarely start new tables and I start them randomly too, if there is like 20 x 50BB tables with one sitting out regular and one 2 x 20BB tables with living (sitting in) player (fish or regular, dosent matter) then obv I start 20BB table. Because I want to play now not in 2 hours.

EDIT: and thats why sitting out strategy sucks
02-19-2009 , 02:34 PM
