There is no reason to snap re-set. In online poker almost all games are now 6-max. You are never more than a few hands away from the blinds. I'm suggesting for anyone who is just learning the game. Or has been even playing for years, but not winning, that they learn one stack size first. Learn 100bb poker. If you win a hand that doubles your stack to at least 200bb+, then hit the "sit out next BB" button. At 6-max you are never more than a few hands from the BB. And almost every site has a timer penalty of say 30 minutes before you can return to the same table. So if it was a juicy table, then you are paying a reasonable price.
There has been a war against short stackers almost since the beginning of online poker. 2+2 has recorded many long threads trying to force the poker sites to get rid of 10bb and 20bb as the minimum buy-in. But no one has ranted and raved about players re-setting their stack to something as high as 100bb. A 100bb is just a set point, and a reasonably high set point at that.
Personally if I could go back in time and change anything about online poker, I would have made it minimum buy-in of 100bb, maxiumum buy-in of 100bb. And then you do the hell that you want after that, if you want to stay at a table all day and night building up a stack, then cool. If you want to re-set at any time, then cool. Examples of something going in this direction is when PokerStars changed something so that you can only short stack so many times in a day and then you must play at least 100bb minumum for rest of day. And I think Americas Cardroom/WPN network has raised the minimum buy-in at their fast poker to 80bb. No one is complaining about players playing 100bb.
And I've gone so far in past posts to say that a deep ante version should be deep every hand. For example,
150bb deep ante should have a forced top up to 150bb so that every single player at the table is playing at least 150bb every hand. How the poker sites got this stuff wrong is amazing. Hey let's create a deep ante version and not force it to actually be deep. WTF.
