Smasharoo 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 You know how short stacks win a tourney?? By having stupid big stacks call their all-ins with Q highHave they figured out your medical status yet?I know a lot of us here have been wondering for a while now just what exactly is wrong with you.Is there a diagnosis?

maxone22 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 While I would like the big stacks to take everyone out (oddly enough, a lot of times I am the chip leader... ) nothing, and i mean NOTHING, bothers me more than the following situation. person 1 has 490 in chipsperson 2 has 680 in chipschip leader has 6k in chips2nd place has 4.5k in cihpsperson 1 folds every hand for 2 full rounds, then goes all in under the gun.. obviously this person has been waiting for a hand, and goes all in. The chip leader calls with a marginal hand (a lot of times its not rare to see them call with a 10 high) Person 1 doubles up. and typically, if thats the kind of person the chip leader is, he will double up person 2 as well.. thus taking us back to where we were. If im going to take someone out, I am going to do it on my terms and make sure they do not receive a single chip more than they should. I will raise their blinds and put htem to the test, rather than have them go all in when they feel they have the best of it.When I'm 2nd place in this position, that kind of annoys me too.

maxone22 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'd like some opinions on tournament play where a very short stack is in desperation mode and as a result is going all in repeatedly AND the big stacks are refusing to call. Does this kind of play make you laugh or drive you nuts...or do you really not care?It makes me do all of the above. If I'm a big stack, it makes me laughIf I'm a medium stack, it drives me nutsIf I'm the very short stack, It makes me not really care about the big stacks for the moment Link to post Share on other sites

Does this kind of play make you laugh or drive you nuts...or do you really not care?If I'm the big stack, I just wait until I have a monster and call, but usually then I am acting first.If I'm a medium stack, it also drives me nuts. But, what can you do? That's poker.If I'm a short stack, I'm glad. Unhappy if he doubles up, but glad to see someone potentially get knocked out. Link to post Share on other sites
