Open shove,

then type in: I'm leaving this table 'cause I get no action. I am an action junkie that plays 55 hard. Toodles, you ******s.

There's a decent number of people who decide to open shove on their last hand for whatever reason. If I see that someone UTG shoves, I'm very inclined to call with anything that's decent. Stacked someone the other day who shoved with 52. I had to sit and think before calling with AK.

I am rly curious what FT plans are for the SSer problem.

What a load of scums....

I'm still curious as to what FT is going to do. I proposed just increasing the floor of the regular games to 50bb. That seems to be the fairest solution. People who want to play deeper can play deeper. People who want to play short can play in a cap game or perhaps something like a 20-60bb game.

Short stackers, of course, won't like this since the fish aren't going to play short tables. They are going to play regular tables. But short stackers aren't going to come out and say that their strategy basically is to leech pots started by deep players. If you raise the floor to 50BB, they aren't going to have a moral ground to stand on.

Also, I think the rathole clock should be upped to like three hours or something.

rathole clock is funny when its implemented on you. Like you stack a giant whale, table breaks, you leave then the table "rejuvinates" and you join back in and buy in for like 3X the maximum..people are always like "hey how did you buy in for so much?

I invariably end up having a big stack at a table or two (because I'm so dern awesum) and I'm always excited when someone else has a 3BI stack as well. I always want to out play them. Probably to the detriment of my game. Problem is that people who have amassed that much money never want to play against me

Honestly, I hope this isn't the only thing FT does (if they do), because I don't feel this will improve the SS situation one bit.

The main reason is that there are too many of them. Currently, whenever a SSer doubles up and leaves one of my tables, at least 50% of the time a different one takes his place. Who cares if the first one can't come back to my table for an extended period of time? There are plenty of guys on his team who can and will.

The second reason is that, at least at the micros, there are plenty of regular tables for them to switch to. And with the 16-table cap, they have a lot of maneuverability of switching tables before really being forced to return to one they've left. Coupled with the first point that there are a metric f***ton of SSers, I don't see how increasing the rathole time is really going to change the overall number of SSers on a given table at any one time.

The only plan I really hope they implement is increasing the minimum buy-in on regular tables.

Yeah, I agree, gunslinger. Although I do think a bigger rathole clock will make SSing less profitable for any particular SSer. And thus, less of them will do it.

But I think having short, reg, and deep tables is the way to go. None of the SSers are going to admit that they want to play against reg stacks. The best argument they have against that proposal is that they don't want to create a third class of tables.

They really don't need to, they have the cap tables. I liked your argument in that thread of why do only deep players have to switch tables. Shorts can play at cap tables, and the min buy-in at regular tables is increased. The question of why they won't play the cap tables has not yet been answered, even though MicroBob says it was.

obv level

Yeah, the defense of the 20-100bb table is just idiotic. I assume they are being intentionally dishonest.

not sure how it was a level...when you leave and return a table under the designated waiting time, you have to come back with how much you left with even if its above the maximum.

I think he's saying that you're just too lousy of a poker player to ever triple up.

[/obv lvl]

I still think all tables should be 50-200.

When that went over your head, did you even look up???

ONLY bad players triple up on FTP because its RIGGED!

no, I am busy punishing my keyboard as I type...$155 for Passport fees...geez.

I'd love this. You can have the cap tables for those who want them and the rest of us can play this.

But 25NL is the firs time I'm really seeing the shorties who just sit there and shove. It took me two days to find them incredibly aggravating. When I played 10NL, I never table selected. I just sat at the first four deep tables I saw and never moved as long as a table didn't break. Nothing more annoying than going after a fish than to just have some shortie to my left shove and both me and the fish have to fold.

Hey, Journeyman54, we are sitting at the most epic table ever right now!

What's so epic about it?

Well for awhile it had six full/doubled-stacked fish but it broke apart pretty quickly. ):
