Here's how you can quantify someone as a scumbag: When their only means to an end relies on the exploitation of the system itself. There is no other form of play which can destroy the game by itself. If everyone plays deep, poker thrives. If everyone plays full stacked, poker thrives. If everyone plays random stacks, poker thrives. If everyone plays short stacked, poker dies.

His ability to play this game is 100% dependent on other peoples willingness not to play short. Imagine if for a day, stars made every HUSNG table a NBI table. The games would die by sundown. But because they are mixed in with the rest, people can idle at the $100 level and prey on the misclicks of others and make a living at the game. How is this not a scumbag? How is what OP is doing any different? (And MAJOR lol that this is how he started rofl wtf)

If everyone played SS that would mean fish too. This could only happen if the shortstacked all-in/fold style of game became popular. Poker wouldn't die, deepstack would die.

Right, whereas deep stack pros are driven by completely selfless motives. A smart pro plays n the games he is best suited to beat. For some people that's SS. If this were really a problem more tables would have larger min buy-ins. Omaha for instance sometimes has 50bb min.

I'm not clear on the NBISNG scumbaggery. Is the idea that you bore the opponent into careless play by stalling? Seems odd, because anyone playing NBI is obviously wanting a longer, slower paced game.

Me I'm a friendly player and I rely on outplaying my opponents. Other layers specialise in trying to upset their opponents and put them on tilt. I would never do this, but I think it's legitimate. Perhaps what NBI needs is a time bank?

It's because people click and register them by mistake while trying to register for a normal game. Not everyone is aware of the lobby filters you can type in.

They also timedown on every action to frustrate you until you start shoving atc.
