Blaming the OP will help no one, blaming FTP would do better.

I forgot to make a screenshot but I was seated at a FR NL400 table among 8 SSS regulars, me being the only bigstack - this cannot be and should not be. I have no problems with 1-2 short stack at my tables, but when the only ay to see a flop is being all in preflop and hopeing to do good against a range of hands, than it is not poker anyome.

There were other threads where the problem is discussed more in detail and with many solutions given. I personally stopped playing FR and completely stopped playing at FTP.
If 50 regs would do the same, FTP would take action (i guess... or better, i hope).

Play deep tables. Problem solved!

/trhead

LOL, OP short stacks 50nl FR at like 2bb/100

I'm sure sites banning short stackers will really hurt your life since you'll miss out on your chance to make like $25/hour

They are doing you a favor, now you can learn to play real poker.

grunch:

if you are 24-tabling at FT i'd have to agree that's pretty ****in serious

[x] heat up huge pot of grease until it catches on fire

[x] throw it on self

Why don't you regs man up and play each other HU on deep tables?

You could easily get dozens of more tables running.

This has to be the absolute dumbest post I have ever read on this forum. Well done

Same with UB/AP

No I believe this would be the beginning of the beginning for poker.

Finally FTP support has answered my requests. Thank you FTP, the best support in the biz!!!

DIE SHORTSTACKER

OP is awful.
This thread is ridiculous.
Everyone in here is arguing about something that FT is going to do...and nobody here even knows what that is. Think about that for a second.

Also: Do something about shortstacks does NOT equal banning all shortstacks.

Serious reading comprehension issues in this thread. I probably agree more in general with the OP in that I wonder about the health of the games if SS'ers were eliminated completely somehow. But OP's ideas and arguments are about the worst ever and he truly does appear to be completely serious on the ridiculous posts he's made. And on top of that, I very seriously doubt shortstackers will be eliminated completely anyway just because FT says they are doing something about them.

Also: You can't 24-table on FT. LDO (felt like pointing that out again). So evidently there are zero serious shortstackers on FT. That should really cool out some of you FT players who thought there was an issue there with this SS stuff. According to OP there are zero SS players there anyway.

so ftp are going to take their service away from their best customers

To all the people who come in here and say "if you don't like SS then just play the deep tables":

THERE AREN'T EVEN REMOTELY ENOUGH RUNNING AT FT!!!

The stats on the number of deep tables running between FT and Stars have been detailed in the past few Answers threads where this argument has been hashed to death. We TRY to start deep tables, and very very few of them get running. I'm not even talking about how not enough fish sit down at them, we'd be happy to play 4 streets of poker against other regs. But, even being the second biggest site, FT doesn't have the player base to maintain enough of them. So please, please, stop ignorantly coming into these threads and telling us to "just play at the deep tables".

Shows the intelligence of OP...or lack of.

Not to mention the level of douchyness.

I'm guessing you have no clue what FTP has planned

More douchyness to add to an all ready douchbag post not to mention you have said nothing intelligent.

What rules are they changing?

Shortstacking is nothing new and somehow poker has survived. Are there more shortstackers now than there was a year ago? I would say yes. Poker, as a game, has evolved a lot just in the last few years. Being successful at it means you have to adapt. Playing online gives a person the benefit of having tables upon tables from which to select. If you are sitting at a table with several shortstackers then just move on.

I for one just cannot understand why people hate shortstackers so much. Most of them are awful and playing against them, in general, is basically feasy money at the cost of high variance.

I'm interested to see what FTPs big solution is. There are already deep, cap, and normal tables, getting rid of any of them seems like it is needlessly limiting the options of the playerbase. Shortstackers still pay rake.

Everyone saying there are more shortstackers: Not all of them are good! One of my best friends on PTR is a terrible reg shortstacker. Maybe they make like .2ptbb, but thats winning 1ptbb from fish and losing .8 to good players.

Didn't you just post in BBV a graph of all the $$ you made shortstacking?

Imsa is one of the few good shortstackers iirk

i dunno about those casinos but the ones ive been to you can top up to 100bb's anytime you want and if you get a table change you cant take money off of the table

maybe you guys should adjust to SSers, clearly ppl on FT dont want to play deep

I sense a bit of fear...
