Short-stacking email

PS gets most of its business from people who play short. I don't think they'd change anything. I wouldn't if I were them.

well what do you expect pokersites to do, raise minimum buyins to above 40bb sweepingly across the entire site?

That's exactly right and I'd be just fine with that. Creating short-stack tables encourages people to short-stack. It encourages people who have never done so to keep doing it. On top of that it doubles the effect of the rake at microstakes. It's bad for poker, bad for the fish, and bad for everyone except the poker sites themselves.

Just make deep tables and tables with a minimum buy-in of 50bb's. Really simple. Anyone who can't afford 50bb's can play a lower limit. No fish is going to quit over that. Fish play because they like to gamble.

Yeah I've always wondered why they couldn't just make 50BB the min... :/. Fish don't care or even know what "buying in short" is... at least in regards to big blinds...

Yes the 20-55bb tables are ridiculous. THEY EVEN FORCE SOME MEN FROM LP TO PLAY THOSE!

If only poker was a manhood-measuring contest...

double post, but was adding some stuff still so I deleted first one

hahaha nah I think they should just have
20-100bb
50-100bb
100-250bb
So then full stackers still have option to play the short stacking fish...like I mean sometimes they buy in for 20bb and manage to run it up to 60-80bb...and who doesnt want to be on table with them?
