this sucks. It reduces stack size to 30BB (assuming Zybomb's example is correct). So it really hurts to make a CB in these games. For instance, a hand with one caller, assuming a 3xBB preflop, a CB commits a total of 1/4 of your stack to the hand. I dont' get the appeal.
And penguinfan-you played that hand perfect. The monkey called without odds at each step, something you want. yeah, it totally sucks what happened but on the flop he was getting 2:1 his money when he was a little less than a 3:1 dog, and on the turn got less than 2:1 on his money when he was well over a 2:1 dog. Shit happens. At one of these tables the monkey probably would have had proper odds to call one those bets because your stack size was limited.
