On the face of it, you are correct Mr Value.
My situation was caused by different players buying in for different amounts in PP.
In my experience all hands in a fair game are decided on luck, if the outcome is decided by the river card.
Therefore if an opponent goes all in with a greater stack than mine I must fold because I'm not a player who benefits much from getting lucky. This act causes me to lose.
However if all players buy in for the same amount, as happens in many countries/jurisdictions I can afford to call bets where the stack sizes are about even.
Lucky card players don't have to worry about all of this this because they can just call, call and call again irrespective of stack sizes.
But I do enjoy playing, and am profitable, where stack sizes are evenly balanced or in a tourney where the liabilities are known at the start.
I was wondering how it works at Sihanoukville? I am usually based at Kampot where, in both games that run there, we all buy in at the same amount
