But the main reason is that ss'ers are the spawn of satan?
So if the gentleman with AA had a $5.00 stack instead of $1.88 what would he of won HMMMMM..
It is totally boring and is not really playing poker. I like playing poker, thats where the fun is.
Fine about the boring part, though I would have to wonder, are you playing for the rush of gambling or to make profit? There is a reason they call it grinding.
As for not being poker, huh? That's like saying heads up play isn't poker or, as some poker author said in the 70's, "A high low split game? Come now, will you ever see a professional poker player playing a split game? You may as well ask them to play with wild cards. These games aren't even poker." If that's how a guy is able to maximize his profit, then he is absolutely playing poker the way he should. Just because you look down on ss doesn't mean its wrong or not poker.
I do not play much, if any cash, but I have been watching our new member pokerpoopy on his live feed and watching his tables on PS, and I see how SSing has it's merits.
If you are only playing up to, say, 6 tables, I feel that buying in full to maximize your profit on your big hands is the way to go. You can focus more on your post-flop decisions and make less mistakes. (if you are a decent player of course...)
If you are mass tabling, I can see where SSing can be beneficial. More of your BR spread over more tables, quicker decisions, and a simplified post-flop strategy.
So I guess it depends on what you feel is working best for you and how many tables/what bankroll level you're playing.
Both strats have their merits.
I agree while playing many tables I think it does just help make decisions easier just because you have less at stake. If you have the time to focus and play then always full stack it for the opertunity to get it all in with the nuts.
what about who only as a 20$ bankroll? lol
