I think I have figured it out. lets see what input I get.some people say 10X the big blind is when you are short stacked.other people say 20x the big blind.I think the 10x is without ante and 20x is with.I have a good short stack strategy with out ante but I know I need more chips when the ante hits. and trying to determine where exactly is beingshort stacked on a ante situation.

I know that you are consider short stacked when you have less than 10 to 20 (depending on who you ask) big blinds in your stack. However when ante come into play how do you figure that into you short stack formula.'I have a short stack strategy but one tournament i play in, the ante comes into play in the later part of the tournament like in poker stars. I feel my short strategy isnt as strong as in another tournament I play in that has no ante in it.Thanks

with all the satellites on the internet poker sites, if it is illegal then how can people like Raymer and Moneymaker and other poeple advertise on a televised poker match that they won a online satellite tournament.I know it is a toothless law that they arent inforcing but what happens if they did.

I played in a 22 player No Limit Holdem tournament over the weekend.17 players remain in the tournament.I have about $1300 in chips while everyone is about $1500. there are 7 people at the table. the blinds are currently $50-$100I am holding an A-Q offsuited. I am Big Blind.6 players called the big blind (which was me) and it is up to me to act.I figure noone has a good hand enough to raise so I decide to raise and try to remove as many people as possible. from it. but these people wouldnt fold on a couple hundred raise.
