WTF? this changes nothing and it looks like things got a lot worse. I'd rather have the old system then this new one. At least with the "old way" I had an opportunity to win 100BB instead of limiting it to 50BB
You'd think a "sponsored coach" would follow the issues a little more closely...
The point is that when everyone's relatively short, it's no longer profitable to open super-wide in position, flat small PPs and mid SCs, etc. so the whole SSS approach of shoving over light openers and callers starts to fall apart, and they gradually fade away.
Meanwhile, as a pro you play a more ABC game and stack people for 40-50 BBs w TPTK etc. who wouldn't have paid off 100BB anyway, and if an SSSer shoves at some point, you are much more likely to have a hand that can look him up.
