Splain me about the sitting with 400 at a $2k table, please. Is there decent reason to do that that I'm not thinking of? I suppose it limits your risk while "taking a shot," but why bother? Wouldn't that same $400 be put to better use at a 2/4 table?

There are definately tables where I believe it is higher EV to sit with 20bbs than it is to sit with 100bbs. And yes, I mean winrate not loserrate.

there are some really really good shortstackers in the game that make a good amount of money playing like this. Yes the general rule is sit with max all the time but its for the simple reason they do not get credit sitting short.


Brian Townsend was playing this guy the other day in one of his videos at 1k max NL and Brian hand 99 and made standard raise and dude instant shoved for like $250 or so, Brian thought for little while and was about to make the call and noticed guy was also shortstacking playing at his other table. Brian made the comment this guy must be a decent shortstacker to be playing same way at 2 tables (at least) and mucked his 99. That is why they do it, they get very little credit and use that to their advantage.

for sure-there are definitely some shortstackers that are legit. In some CR videos both GP(taylor caby) and b townsend will talk about 40putts who is a very solid shortstacker in some bigger games... he may raise with some speculative but when he's putting his money in its usually never anything but 99+ or AJ+... now i wonder honestly how profitable it is,but sometimes i shortstack to mix up plays/try something new, it truly is a way different attitude/way to play.

Also, statistically 2knl is my worst limit and I was down almost 2 buy ins at 1knl on the day, I decided to sit with the 400 and 2knl and if I busted it I was done for the day... worked out well this time but obviously not always like this.
